Customer Note Types
Requires. Administration Page; Customer Note Types with Create, Modify, or Delete for changes.
Customer note types are the categories your team picks from when logging a note or ticket on a customer. Good note-type hygiene makes reporting meaningful — you can count "service complaints" vs. "upsell conversations" only if those are distinct types.
List behavior
- The admin list shows active note types by default.
- Use the Active filter to switch between active and inactive rows.
- Deleted note types are hidden from the list and direct links to them return a 404.
Getting here
- From Admin → Catalogs, click Customer Note Types.
- Or go directly to
