1 Additional search criteria may need to be employed (e.g. start and end date ranges, company, status, category) to ensure that the correct generic case is returned; an alternative Search by category of Contact or Contact Group may be selected to extend the available search fields.

2 Automatically recording this information against each generic case note maintains a full audit history of all supporting activities, capturing the correct timeline of events.

3 Contextual events that have been appended to an ongoing case file can be permanently removed using the Delete Note button.
