A "Call" is a way to record, plan and track telephone calls to allow a full detailed history of the interaction with the customer to be kept. There are two types of call:
| • | Scheduled – the call should take place at a specific time and date; for example you have scheduled to call a customer at a particular time. |
| • | Unscheduled – the call is one of many calls you plan to make (for example, an outbound telemarketing campaign) with no specific time set to make it (sort of like a “to-do” type telephone call). |
Scheduled calls will appear in the calendar, and if the MS Exchange Synchronization is used will automatically Synch to Outlook and blackberry/PDA’s . It is possible to relate calls to people, contacts or marketing campaigns for subsequent reporting purposes.
