  • Hello ashraf26,

    I believe what you are looking for is Annotations (notes), and the adjacent possibility to Upload/Download attachments via Organization Service.

    Take a look at Annotation (note) and the related links from MSDN.

    Hope that was helpful!,

    Apart from notes I would like to upload files in with a browse button

  • ashraf26,

    Did you have a change to look at the link I've posted above? It references how you can attach documents programatically as well as via the interface itself. It also explains and you can enable notes (and attachments) to custom Entities.

    Brief explanation: If you add a Note to an Entity you then have the possibility to add an attachment (Word Document, Excel Spreadsheet, etc).

    Let me know if that helped!
