Track time for Phone calls in Dynamic CRM Services Section

Posted on by Community Member

Hi All,

I'm new to Dynamics CRM Online, and trying to configure it for the purpose of using it as IT Helpdesk Services. I see that I've an option to enter time for Emails, or on ticket resolutions, however don't seem to have that option to enter time for the phone calls. Is there something I can change to be able to put in time for phone calls made to the customer?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Rishi.

Hi, Phone call activity is a system entity, so i think its not possible to customize the entity. To achieve your goal you can create a custom activity instead of system activity(phone call) and can add a field to keep the time/duration information.

Hi,

Unfortunately at this point this screen is limited with specific fields only, and you can also not customize this screen as well. but if you will try to initiate phone call from associated view you should see duration fields. As a work around you can add a button to open full phone call, check our post for the same

Good that you got this solved. Just as a heads up if you use mobile phones, an easy way to enter phone call info to Dynamics is to use an app that does entering the duration and other info automatically. Check out Liid for example if interested.
