View a note
During the process of a call you can view notes related to that call or to the contact the call was made to or
received from. The note might have been added when the call was originally received by, for example,
the receptionist before transferred the call to you and may give details of the nature of the call helping you
to deal with the call proficiently. If the call is received from or made to an external number stored on the
central database you can view the notes previously saved with this contact.

If the originator of the note has added the note to the call only, this text will disappear once the
