Customer Services - Customer|Notes Page

On the Customer|Notes page you can create and view notes associated to a customer.  This allows you to retain information regarding customers' preferences or any issues that they may have. A customer note icon ( ) appears at the top of the page in the Customer Services application to indicate that at least one note is associated to the current customer.

You are also able to create notes specific to a performance, allowing you to schedule customers for volunteer work. By setting the 'Context ID' field to a specific performance and entering information into the 'Type', 'Start Date' and 'End Date' fields, you can have information regarding the volunteer's shift coverage display on the Customer|Calendar page. For more information, refer to the Customer Services - Customer|Calendar Page.

Notes can also be created via the Customer|Activities page.
