Add a Time Stamp when you complete an activity

CREIndiana · May 2023

I am encountering a very inefficient problem.

Here's what I currently do for my leads/activities:

-Set a date To follow up with a lead

-Call that lead 4 days after the date I set

(Yes, I know it's not the best, but I'm being real here).

-Checkbox, I'm done

The Problem is this: (Let's say I set the due date for 5/2/23 and I actually called 5/6/23) When I check the box on the activity, there is a green checkmark and the date of 5/2/23, but I have NO idea when I actually called the lead.

This is not good because in a few days when I open the lead, I cannot remember if I called on 5/2/23 or after. If it has been a week, then great...time to follow up again. If it has been two days, then I should let it sit a little bit longer.

What I have been doing in these instances is editing my activity, setting the date to today, and then checking it so I know when I called. HOWEVER...then I do not know when the original time was set to call them and I lose data.

...this is a CRM. Data is everything. I do not want to lose data.

What I DO want is a timestamp (like on a note) that shows WHEN I checked the box.

I imagine this is incredibly useful and imperative for anyone with employees as well since, at this point, it looks like the employee would be doing all activities on the day they are assigned even when that is not the case.

*The photo was taken on 5/8/23 and I called that lead on 5/8/23 at 1 pm.
