Details Tab
The Details tab lets you make final notes about a task, add your signature, capture the client's name, email and signature to record completion of the task.
This tab has one screen known as the Details screen.
Even after you save data to the cloud, you can still edit and the updated data may be saved over existing data.

Details screen in detail
This screen lets you record final information for the selected task. By default, the Details tab is set to mandatory completion and you cannot save information in the Details screen until there is data in the Technician Signature drawing box. This means that you should sign on this screen and save the data before the Status of the task can be set to Complete.
Optionally, you can also record actions taken, close the entire case of tasks if necessary, and add the customer representative's name, email address and signature.
