The Notes/History/Charts tab provides an area to organize and access documents with which a person or entity is associated as well as an area to enter notes in a freeform text area. In addition, any charts created with CorpCharts are saved to this tab as a chart document. By default, a chart record is created automatically for each entity and will appear on this tab. Any additional charts created by users will appear as part of the default chart record.
