Organizations and data

Markdown you can write in a sticky note

A sticky note renders CommonMark. Headings, emphasis, lists, links, and code show on the note. None of that text becomes data when the organization runs.

Markdown example in a sticky note

Double-click the note to edit. The marks below render as layout instead of sitting on the diagram as raw characters.

# What this stretch does
**Read the input**, then choose a path.
- Customer id comes from the previous step
- Failures use the error output
See the [runbook](https://example.com/runbook).
Write the field as `customerId`.

Which Markdown a sticky note renders

Headings. One # is the largest. More # characters step down.
A pair of asterisks makes bold text. A single asterisk makes italic text.
Lines that start with a dash or a number become lists.
Brackets followed by parentheses make a link. Use a full URL so the link can be opened from the note.
Backticks mark inline code. Fence a block with three backticks.

What a sticky note does not do

A note is not a node. Expressions in the note do not read the previous step, and the note is not passed on when the organization runs. Put expressions in node parameters.

Do not treat dense tables, scripts, or embedded HTML as the layout. People reading the canvas need a short explanation. Keep the long procedure in your own document and leave a link on the note.

Questions

Which Markdown does a Duaer sticky note render?

A Duaer sticky note renders CommonMark headings, bold, italic, lists, links, and code. A link needs a full URL. That text does not become data when the digital organization runs, and an expression in the note does not read the previous node’s fields.

Can a Duaer sticky note process data instead of a node?

A Duaer sticky note cannot replace a node. The note does not run, and its text is not passed to the next node. Put expressions in node parameters when you need to reference data.
