Notes Setup

Customize your call notes functionality

Customize call Notes to enhance efficiency and ensure consistent note-taking across the organization. Options include the ability to override some settings for an admin user.

What are Notes and how do they work?

The Notes feature is a core component of Tenfold's functionality. Notes offer users the ability to quickly and efficiently jot down important details about a customer interaction in the Tenfold UI. A record of each call and its corresponding note is subsequently made available for review in the Tenfold Dashboard Analytics (Call History), your Tenfold UI (Shuffle Notes), and in your CRM (Logging Calls). To open the customer record and review notes in your CRM, click on the Contact link available in your Analytics Call History:

To see the Notes feature in action, take a look at some of our CRM specific demo videos:

Consistent note-taking is crucial to ensuring a positive customer experience. We took this into consideration when we built the Tenfold Notes feature, and built in the @Mention and Natural Language Processing tools. By utilizing these features in conjunction with Tenfold Notes, you are on your way to ensuring proper documentation, visibility, and followup for all customer interactions—not to mention those efficiency gains!

Tenfold Admins can follow these steps to enable and configure the Notes feature for users:

Call Subject Depending on your reporting preferences, you may prefer that certain information be easily referenced when viewing call records in the CRM. This section includes two options to help with this goal:
- Remove phone number from call subject Select to replace the phone number with the first line of notes. Call subjects will reflect in your CRM as "IBC/OBC: First line of notes."
- Notes replace the phone number in the first call.

- - Force usage of phone number and direction
    - Select to include IBC (inbound call) or OBC (outbound call) to indicate call direction, and the phone number.
    - Example: An inbound call from 444-555-6666 appears as "IBC: 4445556666" By selecting "Remove phone number from call subject," the phone number is replaced by the first line of notes.
      - NOTE: Additional subject line customization is not currently available.
Click Save for Organization to save the Notes settings for your team.
Continue to scroll until you see a section labeled "Configure the Note Box for you" and select the options to override.
