The Phone Pad Desktop Extension

The Phone Pad Desktop Extension helps you keep track of phone calls that you make and receive, or that others receive on your behalf. You can quickly and easily associate phone calls with Contacts and Matters in the database.

The Phone Pad retains stored information even after you remove it from the workspace. Multiple instances of the Phone Pad in different workspace areas also present the same stored information.

The Phone Pad consists of the main Phone Pad window, where you enter information about phone calls, and the Phone List window, where you manage your phone call entries.
