Details Screen in Detail

This screen lets you record information for a selected task. By default, you must enter information in the Details tab. You can't 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 setting the Status of the task to Complete.

Optionally, you can also record actions taken, close the entire case of tasks, if necessary, and then add the customer representative's name, email address, and signature.
