Obviously it's better to know everything about the fight but honestly that isn't needed unless you're raid leading and/or doing top end content on a competitive scale. Knowing what your role needs to fulfill is usually enough and you will pick up anything extra from just doing the fight regularly. If you end up trying to take in every single detail about the fight before experiencing it for yourself you may find you won't remember a lot of it. So it's better to reduce it down to what -you- need to know.

Right now I keep my notes in a text file on my secondary monitor. Before I had two monitors I had a notebook specifically for boss tactics.
