Type as opposed to flag for custom, user and technical. Rest of functionality can come later. I was thinking for now could just append user, custom then technical...if each exists. Custom lets them add without changing base. Also can have admin access to user but payroll clerk access for custom. I mean you could have even by user id so each user can add their own notes that make sense to them.
