Comment 1 for bug 1677000

My preference is for the visual indicator to display without the need to click the Other button. Unless circ desk staff get in the habit of clicking 'Other' every time they retrieve a patron, they aren't going to know that the note is there.

Displaying 'Note' as a clickable link only when a note is present, as is the current behavior on the XUL client, is one option that only adds clutter to the screen in those cases when the retrieved patron has a note.

Another option might be to list Notes along the left sidebar, as is done with other fields, and displaying the number of notes on the patron's record.
