SME allows tracking of unlimited number of notes. This allows everyone in the company to track what is going on with the customer from a sales perspective, a customer support perspective, or just private notes on a record by record basis. Notes are everywhere within SME to allow excellent tracking of information.

Notes can be entered in the Journal Notes section or the Legacy Notes section.
