Contact Log Tool

With the Contact Log Tool, you can quickly add a Contact Log record for one or multiple individuals.

  • The Contact Log Tool is optimized for mobile, so you can capture contacts as they happen.
  • When you launch the tool from a selection of records, the Contact Log Tool adds the same Contact Log entry to each selected Contact record. When you launch the tool from an open record, you can enter a Contact Log entry for that Contact.
  • No matter how you launch the tool, you can also search for the appropriate Contact. Available search results display and update as you type.
  • The Contact Made By field auto-populates with the Contact of the individual launching the tool, but you can change the information in the field. You can select from a list of individuals with at least one Security Role or the Unassigned Caller.
    Note: The Contact Log Tool uses the security context of the original logged in user. It does not take on the security context of impersonated users.
  • After saving, you can apply the Contact Log details you entered to another Contact.
  • Information logged through the Contact Log Tool is stored on the Contact Log sub-page of the applicable Contact record(s) and in Communications > Contact Log.
  • The current time you make the Contact Log adds the Contact Log Date - even if you've selected a past or future date.
  • You can use the Contact Log Tool to update restricted or secured records by including them in a selection and launching the tool from that selection.
    Note: The Contact Log Tool will not populate the search area with a secured record.
