Automating Note Numbers in Gravity

1. Note numbers are automated through Gravity's variable functionality. While most variables are "Link" variables, to create an automated note numbering system, we have to create "Note" variables.

2. Click here where you want the note and type "#".

3. Now, it is time to create the note variable. Open the note you wish to tie to this section.

4. To create a note variable, we have to have a "Note #" at the top of the document.

5. After adding the "Note #", select the “#” and then click "Extensions".

6. Click "Gravity Editor Add-On".

7. Click "Extensions".

8. Click "Gravity Editor Add-On" then select "Variables".

9. Click "Create".

10. Name the note. Generally, it is advisable to follow a naming convention such as "Amortization Note” or  "Tax Levy Note" so that the notes are tied to the topic rather than their order in the document.

11. Select the "Note" option in the "Link Type" drop down menu.

12. Click "OK".

13. Navigate back to the MD&A statement.

14. Select the "#".

15. Click "Extensions".

16. Click "Gravity Editor Add-On".

17. Click "Show Variables Panel".

18. In the Variable Panel, select the "Note" option.

19. Click on "Note 1" to open up the variable's details.

20. Click on the insert icon.

21. Once the "#" becomes highlighted in yellow, the note variable has been inserted. Repeat these steps for every note you wish to automate.
