Record the details of a completed patron support interaction and schedule any required follow-up while facts are fresh; run this immediately after finishing an in-person, phone, or chat session.
You just finished helping a patron but there is no formal log entry, attached notes, or follow-up event recorded in the system.
Relevant details are spread across a chat transcript, handwritten notes, and memory, making it hard to assemble a concise log entry; you're also unsure whether the issue requires a follow-up and what priority to set.
The interaction is entered in the assistance log with key details and attachments, a follow-up event is scheduled on the shared calendar with a reminder, and the patron and relevant staff receive a notification.
