Add or Edit a Note for an Opportunity

From the Notes tab, you can add opportunity-related details to an opportunity.

You also can choose the origin of the note you’re adding (phone, fax, post, web form, or email) to document the origin of the note information accurately. And you can edit notes after you add them. Notes are internal and are never sent to customers.

By default, the Notes tab opens with only opportunity notes displayed. If there’s a contact or organization associated with the opportunity, and the Notes tab of the contact or organization record has notes associated with it, those notes can also display.

  1. From an open opportunity, click the Notes tab.
  2. Perform one of these tasks:
    • To add a note, click Add.
    • To edit a note, click Edit next to the note header bar.
  3. Click the Opportunity Note drop-down menu and select one of the following channels where the opportunity note information originated:
    • No Channel—The note information originated as something other than a phone call, fax, postal mail, web form, or email.
    • Phone—The note information originated as a phone call.
    • Fax—The note information originated as a fax.
    • Post—The note information originated as postal mail.
    • CSS Web—The note information originated from a web form.
    • Email—The note information originated as email.
    If Outlook integration is activated, Outlook email can be appended to opportunities, contacts, organizations, and incidents in the Email format.
  4. Click in the text area and type the note.
  5. Click Save.
