About date types

It is possible to specify different date types on cases, documents, and contacts. For example, it could be a contact's birthday, day of retirement, day of a call, and any other date type. In WorkZone Configurator, you can define the date types, and users will see them on the Dates tab in WorkZone Client. When users want to add a new date, they need to click Add, select a date type from the list, and indicate a date.
