Introduction
A sticky note is a highlighted comment on the Summary View of a record. When there are multiple comments on a record, and you want to highlight a particular comment to capture users’ attention, you can display it as a sticky note.
Here are some use cases:
As a sales rep, you can display important notes about a deal as a sticky note. This is handy when the deal is transferred to a different sales rep. |
As a support manager, you can display case-related instructions as a sticky note. The customer service rep working on the customer case can view the instructions before taking any action. |
You can use sticky notes to highlight any general rule to be followed in a process. For example, in customer support, saying greetings such as Good Morning or Have a Good Day is a must; this rule can be highlighted using a sticky note. |
Where are sticky notes displayed
Sticky notes appear on the Summary View of a record, on top of the Activity section. You can use the upward and downward arrows to view the complete note.
Note: A sticky note is also retained as a regular comment in the Activity section. |
