3. Select the blue "Log Activity" (or "Schedule Activity" if you have moved the time stamp into the future) to finish creating this Activity
Toggle on “Create a follow-up?” to create another activity right after.
Follow-up: Create follow-ups to schedule another visit, meeting, or any other activity type to the associated company you are currently working on.
When this toggle is turned on - a new Activity form will appear. Follow the same instructions as above to fill out the necessary information for the follow up and move the date / time stamp to the desired day.
Note: Any information that is required to be filled out during an Activity creation will be denoted with a red asterisk. Fields can be marked as required by a Team Owner from the Layouts portion of Web Settings. Required musts MUST be filled out for non-future dated Activities in order to save the Activity.
