browser. You can perform several actions on Salesforce records that launch BlackBerry applications.

Placing Calls

Salesforce Classic works with the phone application on your device, so you can place a phone call directly from any Salesforce record
that includes a phone number field. The logging feature in the mobile application lets you create a task record from your device as soon
as you complete the call. To make a call:

1. Open a record that contains a phone number field, such as a contact, lead, or account. You can also highlight the record in the list

view.

2. Open the menu, and then select Place a Call.

If the record contains more than one phone number, a window opens so you can select the number you want to dial.

3. Highlight the phone number you want to dial, open the menu, and then choose Select.

The phone application dials the number. Upon ending the call, Salesforce Classic prompts you to

log the call

, which is an optional

step. Click Yes to log the call; click No to skip the logging process.

preferences

events,

edit the preferences

Open the menu and select Save to log the completed task to Salesforce. You can see the activity by viewing the activity history
