| RN2 Advanced Customer Notes |
Schedule appointments to keep promises and have detailed customer notes at your fingertips!
An advanced version of Peachtree's Customer Notes, you can view and edit notes while entering invoices and when querying and maintaining customer information. Plus, you can schedule multiple appointments for each customer and can print a listing of your customer appointments and to do activities each day.
When adding or editing a note, two new function keys will be available. They are F5-Appt and F6-Duration. F5-Appt flags the note as an appointment. (F6-Duration will be discussed later.) When F5 is pressed, the word "Appt" appears in bold font on the F5-Appt button and the note's header will be flagged as an appointment.

The additional function key, F6-Duration, is available when entering or editing a note. When pressed, it calculates how much time has elapsed from the date and time on the note to the current date and time. The difference is stored as the last line on the note. For example, if the current date is 12/1/96, and the time is 9:17 am, and the user edits the note for ANDERA's appointment, scheduled for 12/1/96 at 9 am, and presses AltF5, a new line will be put on the end of the note that says Duration: 17 minutes.
