Adding Notes and Attachments
Over the life of a lease, there may be many conversations and correspondences that relate to the lease. The Notes tab within the lease provides a mechanism to record activity history on this lease, similar to a call log.
You can record notes at anytime against a lease, except when the lease is cancelled or closed. When adding notes, you can optionally attach files into the database. You can use this feature to attach a soft copy of the lease agreement itself, an amendment, and other related documentation. After you save a note, you cannot amend it.
In addition, you can capture detailed, clause-level notes and attachments. For example, the Clause ID field on the Note Detail page enables you to associate a specific clause with the note.
This topic discusses how to add notes and attachments to a lease.
