3.9.3. Following up an activity

Users can follow up an activity by clicking on the the subject where it appears in their task list or a company's activity history. Most of the time, though, users will be following up activities as they appear on their task lists.

The details of the last activity will be shown in the Activity Details box. If you need to edit these for any reason, you can do so by clicking edit these details. You will also be able to view any documents that were attached to the record when it was created.

Once users have followed up an activity it is likely that they will want to record what has just happened. This can be done by clicking record follow-up activity. This opens up a new activity window for you to complete just as you would for a brand new activity.
