Rich Text for Notes & Task Descriptions

Rich Text for Notes & Task Descriptions lets your team format notes and task details with bold text, lists, and hyperlinks so information is easier to scan, understand, and act on. This article covers what's included, how to use it efficiently, and where formatting appears throughout Enrollio.

What is Rich Text for Notes & Task Descriptions?

Rich Text adds lightweight, everyday formatting to notes and task descriptions so you can emphasize key details, structure follow-ups with lists, and link out to supporting documents—all without leaving Enrollio.

You get formatting controls (bold, italics, underline, strikethrough), bulleted and numbered lists, hyperlinks, undo/redo, and basic paste formatting preservation. Your formatting renders consistently wherever those notes and tasks appear in the platform.

Key Benefits

Understanding the benefits helps you decide when to use Rich Text and how to standardize note-taking across your childcare center.

  • Clarity: Highlights key points so staff can scan parent notes and tour details quickly
  • Consistency: Looks the same across parent records, enrollment opportunities, and conversations
  • Speed: Apply emphasis, lists, and links directly—no need to switch tools or paste raw URLs
  • Traceability: Undo/redo reduces mistakes during longer edits
  • Collaboration: Shared note patterns and linked context improve handoffs between staff members
  • Reduced clean-up: Pasting preserves basic formatting from emails and documents, minimizing rework

Formatting Toolbar

The toolbar provides quick access to the most-used formatting controls for efficient note-taking.

  • Bold, italics, underline, strikethrough
  • Bulleted and numbered lists
  • Hyperlinks (insert/edit)
  • Undo / Redo

Lists & Structure

Lists make action items and parent meeting notes easier to read and maintain over time.

  • Use bulleted lists for talking points, enrollment requirements, and general notes
  • Use numbered lists for tour steps, follow-up tasks, or enrollment checklists

Hyperlinks

Add links to external documents (enrollment forms, Google Drive folders, support tickets) so your team can jump directly to details from within Enrollio.

To insert or edit a link in a note or task description:

  1. Select the text you want to hyperlink
  2. Click the Link icon in the toolbar
  3. Paste the URL and confirm
  4. Save your note or task

The link will render as clickable text wherever the note or task appears.

Where Formatting Appears

Notes and task descriptions appear in multiple places throughout Enrollio. Rich Text ensures your content stays readable wherever it's shown.

Rich Text formatting renders consistently in:

  • Parent and family records
  • Enrollment opportunities
  • Company records
  • Conversations with parents
  • Calendar events and tour appointments

Known Limitations

Setting clear expectations helps your team adopt Rich Text confidently.

The current release focuses on lightweight formatting. Not supported: images, tables, headings, text colors, text alignment, code blocks, and checkbox-style task lists.

Pasting preserves basic formatting only (emphasis, lists, links). Complex layout and media are omitted.

How to Use Rich Text

Rich Text for Notes & Task Descriptions is now available across Enrollio, giving your team access to the editor wherever notes and tasks appear.

  1. Open any note or task (new or existing). For example, from a parent record or enrollment opportunity
  2. Click in the Note or Task Description field
  3. Use the toolbar to apply formatting, insert links, or create lists
  4. Save to apply your changes

Pro Tip: Create a standard note template for tour follow-ups or enrollment checklists. Use numbered lists for action items and bold text to highlight deadlines or missing documents. This helps your team maintain consistency across all parent interactions.
