The Lead Activity Note allows you to add notes for the current Lead Activity.

Lead Activity Notes are created during the Lead Activity creation process. You must create Lead Activity Notes from within the Lead Activity view. You can review Lead Activity Notes using the Lead Activity Note-Review view.

Note: The ability to create and update information in the Lead Activity Note portion of the Lead 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 Lead Activity Note portion. For more information, see Role Master-Permissions.

  • Note Text - enter the Note Text related to the current activity. You can enter up to 1048 alpha numeric characters in this field. This field is mandatory.
