About Activities

  1. There are 2 activity types - Tasks and Events.
    1. Tasks are To-Do items. They can be reminders to do something. 
    2. Events are activities with time around them, like a conference call, meeting, or webinar
  2. Activities can either be completed or scheduled out in the future
  3. The "Log a Call" form is a version of a Task.  It is different from a regular task because:
    1. It sets the task type to "Phone Call"
    2. It sets the status to completed
    3. Allows you to enter notes immediately (as opposed to creating the task, saving, then re-opening to add notes)

About Notes and Attachments

[image - screenshot of Notes & Attachments related list]
  1. You can attach Notes and Attachments to Organizations, Communities, or Contacts
  2. When to use notes
    1. In general think of most interactions with a contact in terms of Activities.
    2. A note is an aspect of the contact (or account) that may be useful of which to be aware, but is not part of any interaction.
    3. Examples:
      1. The last time I visited Dan, he indicated he was a big fan of football and in particular he likes the New England Patriots.
      2. Monica has two children who have been involved with community shares programs in the Dallas area.
    4. It is also possible to mark a note as 'private' which means it shows only to the record owner and to the system administrators.
      1. Still strive to be careful to not record things that may be libelous or offensive.  If the record is given to a new owner the private notes will be transferred
      2. Examples:
        1. The last time I visited Dan he may have been upset when I mentioned the Packers - I need to be more careful with casual conversation.
        2. One of Monica's children knows my mother!
