Default How do you use Journals

I have a very large contact database that I have been keeping up with for years. For the last few years I have been in the habbit o putting the notes of conversations and even document links int he the notes section of the Contact form. Is the journal a better place for this? Does anyone use the Journal function in Outlook?



I would like to hear how you use it or how you keep notes about your customers/clients using outlook.

Many thanks,
Houston

The Journal so IS the way to go! If you set it up right, you can have it automatically record any meetings, conversations, tasks, appointments, etc for each contact; you can manually add any notes you wish to put in there, too. And the whole lot is timelined so you know when everything happened.


BUT, if you have a copy of OneNote on your PC, then I would start playing with that, too. You can import all your info from Outlook and it has the advantage of being more flexible than any other program that I have ever used! I have OneNote on my PDA, so I can record business meetings and have it stick the audio into OneNote - along with any drawings and notes that I made during the meeting. The best thing about OneNote is that you can drag things around - great when working on concepts and ideas from scratch - always changing!


So, my useage is - Outlook for 'Outlook' tasks and OneNote for more detailed information and work ideas.

In reference ot the Journal, what do you mean by RECORD meetings. Are you talking about the actual audio say on a phone conversation?
