Journals

Many of the data records in the ITAM database include a Journal tab where you can store related notes (and in some cases, emails).

Asset Administrators can globally configure new categories and note sources for the Journal tab that are part of a data record.

For journal notes and emails, you can specify a Category, which further explains the nature of the email or note that was added to a record. Some category examples for email include outgoing, incoming, or bounced. For notes, category examples include customer feedback, complaints, or follow-up.
