Visits & Field Execution

How to Create a New Visit Activity

Overview 

You can start a visit directly from the Activities screen and carry it out on the spot. After choosing the visit type, main customer, and store, you can begin the visit immediately and add photos, forms, notes, and tasks, set the visit status, and finish it—all in one flow. This is ideal for ad-hoc visits that weren’t planned in advance but still need to be captured properly.
