Creating and Managing Call Notes
The Call Notes module allows you to capture updates across multiple projects and tasks quickly.
Creating a Call Type
Call Types define the structure of your note-taking sessions. Each Call Type can be configured for either Projects or Tasks.
To create a new Call Type:
- Navigate to the Call Notes module.
- In the sidebar, click Add New Call Type.
- Follow the configuration steps in the modal:
Step 1: Base Information
- Call Type Name: A descriptive name for the configuration.
- Access Level:
- Public: Visible to all users in the workspace.
- Private: Visible only to the owner and explicitly added users.
- Allowed Users: (Private only) Add specific users who can view and use this Call Type.
Step 2: Display Columns
- Select the columns (standard fields and custom fields) that should be visible in the table.
- Use the Search bar to find specific fields.
- Drag columns to re-order them as they will appear in the table.
Step 3: Editable Fields (Projects Only)
- Select which Custom Fields should be editable directly from the right sidebar.
- Note: This step is skipped for Task Call Types, as task details are managed via the canonical task module.
Working with Notes
Capturing Drafts
- Select a Call Type from the sidebar.

Tracking Pending Notes
- As you take notes across different entries, a Badge Count appears next to the Call Type name in the sidebar. This indicates how many entries have unsaved changes.
- Draft notes are persisted as you navigate between different projects or tasks within the same Call Type.
