You can create categories that your agents can attach to their notes. This allows an at-a-glance view of the types of notes which have been added to a contact's history.
Furthermore, note categories allow you to note which notes are public or internal.
In your Admin account:
- Go to the Settings page.
- Go to the Note categories subpage.
Selecting a default note category
You must select one of your note categories as the default for all new notes. This will be set as the category for all notes, unless the agent changes it.
- Click to select the note category that you wish to be the default in the Default category column.
Creating note categories
You can have a maximum of ten note categories.
To create a new note category:
- Click the Create button.
- Type a name for the Note category.
- Click to select a Category type. The type is visible to agents and they can use it to identify which notes can be shared with a customer, and which should not be.
- Optionally, click the Office drop-down list and select which office this note category is for. The note category will not be available for other offices.
- Optionally, click to tick the Exportable check box. Some clients have specific tools that they can use to export notes to other systems. This check box determines which note types can be included in the export.
- Click the Create button.
Deleting note categories
To delete a note category:
- Click the
icon to the right of the category you wish to delete.
When you delete a note category that has already been applied to notes by agents, those notes will all be set to the default note category.
