The Case Activity Note allows you to add notes for the current Case Activity.
Case Activity Notes are created during the Case Activity creation process. You must create Case Activity Notes from within the Case Activity view. You can review Case Activity Notes using the Case Activity Note-Review view.
Note: The ability to create and update information in the Case Activity Note portion of the Case Activity view is controlled by the permissions (create, read, update and delete) assigned to the resource within the role. This help topic assumes that you have the appropriate permissions to create and update records in the Case Activity Note portion. For more information, see Role Master-Permissions. |
The following fields are available on the Case Activity Note view and are based on the order in which they appear in the grid on the search page:
- In the Main Context section, the Company Number, Case Number and Activity Key display as reference information for the Case Activity record you are working with.
- CRM Note Category - enter or select from the lookup a CRM Note Category assigned to the note text. This is a mandatory field.
- Note Text - enter the Note Text related to the current case activity. You can enter up to 1048 alpha numeric characters in this field. This field is mandatory.

- Company - displays the Company code in which you are working.
- Customer Code – displays the current customer code for the Case Activity Note being created.
- Note Number – displays the system generated Case Activity Note number.
