Hi there. In my project plan I've added a column to provide a green, amber or red face based on the status of that task. I'd like to have a new column which will only show a text icon, or whatever icon, if this task has notes. How can I do this?
 
Hmm, I setup a new column that populates itself with Null and Not Null and can set a graphical indicator based on whether Null is there or not. How can I ensure that the notes are in the mouseover of the image?
 
Lol, funny how writing about it helps! I simply create a Null value (rather than writing Null) if no comments are found in the text box. If values are found, display comments. I then wrote in the graphical indicator to say when any value is found, add this image where the value are the notes
 
The Indicators column shows an icon automatically when there is a note.
