to display a softphone
from the footer of a console.
- Use the interaction log to write notes in call logs. A call log is an activity record that automatically generates when you use a softphone, and it tracks the phone number, caller, date, time, and duration of the call. You can view call logs in the Activity History related list of any record associated with the call.
Data doesn't always save properly when you: (1) Refresh your browser during a call; (2) use a softphone in multiple browsers simultaneously; (3) switch to a softphone in a browser without a console.
You can hide the softphone by clicking , but you can’t move it away from the footer of a console. You can
also resize the height of a softphone by dragging the bar on top of it. When you click
End Call, any updates you've made to the interaction log are saved
before the call ends.
