Data Assessment Notes are attached

Assessment programme has
identified a navigationally significant
difference between the ENC and the
equivalent Admiralty paper chart.
When highlighted, individually or in
Folios, cells with Notes are hatched.
When a Unit or Folio containing an
ENC with a Data Assessment Note is
added to the Basket, a ‘Notes found!’
warning is displayed.
Within the Basket, ENCs with Data
Assessment Notes are shown with
warning text in the ‘Notes’ column.
Note that ENC Units and Folios must be
expanded to the ENC cell level to see the
warning text.
The full warning text can be displayed by clicking on the text
in the ‘Notes’ column in the basket.
The full details of the differences between each ENC and the
