  2. Type a label for the custom note.

    Type a label for the custom note.

  3. Type a value in the note box.

    Tip: You must type and save the value for the new custom note to be saved. If you leave the box empty, the custom note is removed when you save.

  4. Click Save when you’re finished with the contact details.

    Click the Save button.
