Two types of footnotes

Good Morning.

I need help with footnotes.

I have a job that requires the use of two types of notes. One type corresponds to traditional footnotes and a second type where other references are placed but independent of the first type.

Is there any way to create a second continuous note system as the first type?

I put a picture to illustrate what I want.

Thank you

The only way I can see to accomplish this is tediously, via cross-references. InDesign currently only supports one type of footnote in document.

Hi,

The screenshot is absolutely not clear for me! …

Could you post a best readable one with 2 pages? Thanks!

will the new version of InDesign CC 2018 have the tool I'm looking to solve the problem of a second set of notes on the same page?

Hi,

Try exploring the new endnotes feature... set the scope as story and the placement option as "place cursor" from the document endnote option to create the endnote frame.

Aman -- That's not really an option as endnotes are placed in a separate frame at the end of the story or document.
