In Zoho Recruit, you can associate notes to the records by specifying the required details. You can create notes only if you have the Create permission for Notes.

To create notes:

1. Click a tab.
   
2. In the Home page, select the record.
   
3. In the Details page, the existing note details, if any, are displayed.
   
4. Enter the note content in the text box.
   
5. Click the Attach File link if you want to upload files to the note.
   
   You can attach up to 5 files in a note and the total size of the files should not exceed 20 MB.
   
6. Click Save.
   

Note

• Every note that you associate with a record will be counted as one more record in Zoho Recruit. So it will contribute towards the total number of records.
  
  For example, you have a total of 1000 records in your account and every record has a note associated with it - then the total number of records in your account will be 2000.
