Enterprise CRM: Add a Public Google Doc, Note, or Attachment to an Organization record

What Are Google Docs, Notes, and Attachments?

Google Docs, Notes, and Attachments can be used to associate particular information or documents to records within CRM using various formats. 

Prior to creating a Google DocNote, or Attachment you may want to check with your internal business processes to ensure that you are using them in the way that your business unit is intending for them to be used. 

What Are My Privacy Options?

Enterprise CRM has records that it shares across all business units and organizations. The Organization record type is one of these public records, although you can create private Google Docs, Notes, or Attachments on an Organization by using Reserved Organization Data.

While it is likely that most of your Google Docs, Notes, and Attachments will be private to your business unit there may be times when you want to add a note or other information to share with the wider CRM audience, for example you know that visiting a particular organization is confusing to get to or follows an unexpected process. You could use a Note to communicate the relevant information and/or Attach a File or Google Doc to load any supporting documentation that is provided.
