Adding notes to a case

You can add notes to cases to record important or useful information. Notes are time-stamped with the name of the user who made the note and cannot be deleted. Notes can be added to open and closed cases.

There are three ways to add notes:

• From the case view page: These notes can be up to 1,000 characters long.
• From the case list page: In this way, the same note can be added to multiple cases at the same time. Notes added in this way can be up to 500 characters long.
• When assigning a user (through the case list) or making a case decision: These are called contextual notes and can be up to 500 characters long. These notes are linked to the user assignment or case decision, providing additional contextual information for the note.

Adding a note when you change the stage of a case

When you change a stage on a case, you have an option to add a note. This applies when you change a stage from the case list or the case view page.

The note will reflect the action taken.

Adding a note when you make a case decision

When you make a case decision, you are required to add a note. This applies when you make the decision from the case list or the case view page. 

The note will reflect that it was left at the time of a case decision.
