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:

  1. Navigate to the Call Notes module.
  2. In the sidebar, click Add New Call Type.
  3. 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

  1. Select a Call Type from the sidebar.
  2. Click on a row in the table to open the Right Sidebar.
  3. Type your notes in the Call Notes section.
    • You can use @mentions to tag users.
    • Notes are automatically saved as Drafts.
  4. For Projects, you can update any fields configured as Editable in the Entry Details section.

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.

Submitting and Exporting

Submitting Call Notes

Once your note-taking session is complete:

  1. Click the Submit Call Notes (X) button in the floating footer.
  2. Review your changes if prompted.
  3. Confirmation will when the Share Report modal.

Project Actions

When working in the Projects view, you have additional actions:
