For example, you may want to call a customer in two weeks to verify he or she has no additional questions. The setup for a follow-up record is exactly the same as a contact tracking record.
You cannot create a follow-up
record of a follow-up record. Follow-up records created from a follow-up
record will just display as another follow-up to the parent record.
If, by creating
a follow-up record, it is implied that the parent record is resolved,
make sure to mark
the parent record as complete.
To create a follow-up record:
1. Open the appropriate constituent in CRM360.
2. From
the Background Information task category in CRM360, click Activity and Contact Tracking.
The list of activities and contact tracking records display below the header
in CRM360.
3. Double-click the contact tracking record in which you want to create a follow-up record.
4. Click
the Create Follow-Up
link.
A new contact tracking record is opened in which the Contact Date and Due
Date are set to today. Additionally, the Topic and Subject selected in
the parent contact tracking record are carried over to the follow-up record.
5. Proceed to select the appropriate contact tracking information.
6. Click
Save.
The record is added to the list of the constituent's activities and contact
tracking records. Additionally, follow-up records will display below the
parent record.
