Notes field in Menu Screen

It would be nice to be able to attach a note to a menu screen in detail view.  

I.E. you'd see the 'title' column such as EM Equipment, the second column is 'Last Access', and then you could have a 3rd column called 'notes' where you could add notes about what that program in the menu does.

    This would be fantastic for us, especially for reports, so users can see what each report does at a glance without opening them and reading the description. That's one of our most common complaints; there are too many reports for them to know which one to use.

    Dan, would you think it would be better per user or system wide setting?

    Both would be nice. One that an admin can set, and then one specifically for the user.

    Re Eric V's comment - Yes and No.  The tool-tip would be more like F1-Help.  We were thinking more along the lines of allowing the user to create their own notes about how they use the item much like putting post-it's in a paper ops manual.

    This would be to assist with new user training, correct?  Perhaps a tooltip function for new users would be even more beneficial?  Where the user when hovering over a control or field would see a tooltip describing the purpose of that element.  Thoughts?
