A note can be about an account, contact, opportunity, or personal. The Note Detail window displays the appropriate information for the account, contact or opportunity you navigated from.
For example, if you open the Notes window from the Account Detail window and drill down on a new record, the Company Name, Number, and Account Code fields display the data for that particular account. If you open the Notes window from the Contact window and drill down on a new record, the Company Name, Number, Account Code, and Contact Name fields display the data for that particular contact.
You can add, change, or clear information from any of these fields to enter a note for a different account or contact. The information in these fields is used to create the About field of the Notes window.
