**What is a Journal Entry?**
A journal entry is a personal note that can include:
- Formatted text content (HTML or Markdown)
- Mood indicator (Happy 😊, Neutral 😐, or Sad 😢)
- Optional reminder date for follow-up

**Use cases:**
- Document personal notes and observations
- Track feedback and conversations
- Set reminders for goal reviews
- Mood tracking over time

**Note:** Available for both employees and organization members. The body field accepts HTML or Markdown input and is stored internally in IDoc format.
