A customer card is created for each customer you add to the system. The purpose of the customer card is to gather all information in one place and give all users in your organization access to the same customer information.

You can add information such as previous calls, completed events, notes, ongoing activities and what is planned for the future, etc.

πŸ’‘ Tip: The customer card can be used for more than just an overview of the customer relationship.

Customer cards can be created for organizations, sponsors or individuals, etc.

The side menu

In the main side menu you will find the link to the customer section and all information about the customer.

At the very top of the customer card you will find an overview of the company name and whether the customer is registered as a business or a private customer.

Changing the customer card

You can change the information about the customer by clicking Change.

The information you can change here is Company name, Customer type, Organization number, Customer number, Address and Custom fields.

Delete a customer card

To delete the customer card, tap the three dots next to Change, then Delete.

About the customer

Status

Statuses can be used for a quick view of a customer status, as custom categories or in another way that matches your company process. Statuses are visible both on the customer card and in your customer list, how you want to use them is entirely up to you.

You can only use one status per customer card. It is therefore a good idea to use status for general information that can provide an overall view of the customer relationship with your company.

To change the status of the customer card, click the box under Status. You will then see a drop-down menu of all the statuses you have created. Tap on the status you want to use.
