Link a Case's Records

You can link two of a case's records, such as parties, to-dos, and notes, to show the relationship between them. For example, you could link a case's to-do to one of its emails to show that the task resulted from the email conversation. You can see all the case's links for records to which you have access from the Links tab on a case's page under the Records sub-tab.
