Track Properties in X1

I recently upgraded to X1 Producer from 8.5 Producer.  In previous versions of Sonar Producer, there was a Context Menu (right-click) option on tracks to show "Track Properties".  In particular, there was a field called "Description".  I would put all sorts of notes in that field, like who the singers were for the track, what settings I had used on my guitar processor for the track, etc., in case I needed to tweak something or wanted to record (in the same song or another song) using exactly the same settings.
 
Does the "Description" field still exist at the track level and, if so, how does one access it?
 
As an aside, with or without the Track Properties field, I'm no pro but was wondering what the pro's do to track this sort of stuff (equipment settings, musicians) so that when it comes time to mak tweaks or album notes and credits, they have the information at hand.
 
Thanks in advance.

    It's still there, but in the inspector. If you click "track" in the inspector pane, you'll see the description field in the box that appears.

    Ah, thank you.  I hadn't explored the inspector much yet.  Now that you've pointed me to it, there's quite a few things there that I was wondering about ... will save me from starting a few other threads here :)
     
    Thanks again.

    Yeah, most of what initially seems to be "missing" from track headers has just moved into the inspector somewhere.
