6. Enter the ETR.
7. Enter your notes.
   • To enter a previously saved response, click SELECT A SAVED RESPONSE and select a response from the dropdown menu.
   • To create a new saved response, enter notes in the field and click NEW. You will then be able to select that response in the future from the dropdown menu.
   • To delete an old response from the saved response dropdown menu, click on the response in the SELECT A SAVED RESPONSE dropdown menu and then click DELETE.
8. Enter the first follow up time for the case. NOTE: If not entered, the current time and date will automatically populate.
