Notes and tasks

Notes record what happened on an account; tasks record what needs to happen next. Both are added from the account's Notes tab.

Written for: Collectors and billing staff · Supervisors

Adding a note

Account → Notes tab → Add Note

  1. Select Add Note.
  2. Choose a Note Type and write the note.
  3. Select Save Note.

Every note is visible to everyone who can open the account. There is no private or team-only note, no @-mention and no note priority.

Note types

General, Call Notes, Payment, Dispute, Hardship and Compliance. Call Notes is saved as an outbound call; the others are saved as notes, and the list shows that rather than the type you chose.

Creating a task on an account

  1. On the account's Notes tab, select Create Task.
  2. Enter a Task Title and, optionally, a description.
  3. Choose a priority (High, Normal or Low) and a due date. The due date defaults to a week ahead.
  4. Save. The task is assigned to you.

What is not available

  • Personal or team task views, and a "due this week" view.
  • Reassigning, re-dating or commenting on a task, or attaching a file.
  • Task reminders or notifications.
  • Recurring tasks.

Good practice

Write notes for the next person: what was said, what was agreed, and what should happen next. Put a due date on any follow-up as a task, and check your accounts' Notes tabs for open tasks, since nothing will remind you. See activity logging.
