In this article, we’ll guide you through the different types of Pop Up Notes, where you can add them and how to interact with and report on them.

 

What is a Pop Up Note?

Pop Up Notes (also known as Sticky Notes) are notes you can use to deliver important information to users in your organisation or information that needs to be shared with your customers.

You can use Pop Up Notes on a Customer Record to display any requirements your staff need to be aware of when interacting with specific Customers. You can add Pop Up Notes to:

There are blue or pink Pop Up Notes:

  • Blue Pop Up Notes appear in the Sales Interface and Opportunities Interface. For example, leaving a note for the next member of staff to remind them to ask the Customer for their email address.


    You can also add a blue Pop Up Note against an Opportunity. This will only appear in the Opportunities Interface.

     

  • Pink Pop Up Notes appear in the Opportunities Interface only. You can use a pink Pop Up Note to display any sensitive information to a limited number of Users, for example a VIP or a large Donor.

TIP: The pink Pop Up Note is only visible to Opportunities Interface users. If you have sensitive information which you want to store against a Customer Record - for example a VIP or large donor, you can use the pink Pop Up note.

If you want to report on pink Notes, then they will be visible to all users with the Insights & Mailings User or Insights & Mailings Administrator permissions on their User account.

When either Pop Up Note is populated with content, a squiggly line will appear on the icon:

Interacting with a Pop Up Note

When you access a Customer Record, Event, Event, Instance or Order in the Sales Interface or access a Customer Record in the Opportunities Interface, you’ll see either a Pop Up Note or an icon showing a Note has been created.

If you see the Pop Up Note, once you’ve read and acknowledged it, click Ok:

When you click Ok to acknowledge a note, the note will reappear the next time you access the Customer Record, Event, Instance or Opportunities Interface.

If the Pop Up Note doesn’t appear when you access the Customer Record, Event, Instance or Opportunities Interface, you can view it by hovering your mouse over the note, or by selecting it:
