Common uses include call summaries after a <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/call-log-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Call Log<\/a>, competitor mentions from a discovery meeting, customer objections during a deal, or instructions for a colleague who will take over the account.<\/p>\n<p>Notes appear in the timeline of the parent record, ordered by creation date, giving any team member reading the record a chronological narrative of the relationship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Attachments on Notes<\/h2>\n<p>Notes support file attachments. You can attach a PDF proposal, a photo of a signed document, or a meeting transcript directly to a Note, keeping all supporting material within the CRM record rather than scattered across email or shared drives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Industry Example<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Financial Services:<\/strong> A relationship manager at an NBFC adds a Note to an Account record after a branch visit: &#8220;CFO mentioned they want a credit line increase before Q4.
