Notes on an order

Leave a note for sales, dispatch, the foreman or the customer — and who may edit or delete notes.

2 min readChecked November 7, 2026

Notes live in the order's conversation, at the bottom of the window, alongside texts, emails and calls.

Leave a note

  1. In the conversation, choose Note.
  2. Write the note.
  3. Under Show to, tick who it's for: Customer, Foreman and/or Dispatch. Sales always see notes.
  4. Send it.

The note appears in the feed as "Your name left note.", with who it's for beside the date — for example (Sales, Dispatch).

Show toWho reads it
CustomerThe customer, in their portal. Hover over the chip to be reminded.
ForemanThe crew's foreman, on the job in the Movers App.
DispatchDispatchers, on the Dispatch board.

Put a customer's message into the notes

Point at a text, email or portal message — in the order's messages or on the Messages page — and press the note icon, Add to notes. Tick Sales, Customer, Foreman, Dispatch or All, then Add. The message's words become a new note for those notes, ending with who sent it and when, for example From Jane Doe's text, Nov 7, 2026, 3:12 PM. Nothing already written changes. See Add a message to the notes.

Edit or delete a note

Press the pencil on a note to change or delete it. What you may do depends on your permissions:

To…You need
Edit your own notespermission to edit a note
Edit someone else's notespermission to edit other users' notes
Delete your own notespermission to delete own notes
Delete someone else's notespermission to delete other users' notes

Admins can do all four. Without the permission MoveBoard says why — for example You may only edit your own notes. A note can't be saved empty: A note cannot be empty; delete it instead.
