Summary / TL:DR: This article will help you understand the Call Tracking screen.
This is a review of Call Tracking - the Open and Close Call function. Call Tracking is used for reporting purposes to understand why customers contact customer service and the outcomes of those contacts. It ties in directly with the notes functionality in Advantage - using Call Tracking creates notes on the customer's account.
