Basic operations
Use the Customers top toolbar or context menu to perform the basic operations, such as:
1. [Refresh data] forces a Customers list update. This is useful when you're changing your connection, or have doubts as to whether the data displayed is that most recently updated, and available.
2. [Add customer] displays a blank "Edit Customer" form, which is used to create new Customers.
3. To edit existing customer data, double click it, or select the [Edit customer] button, which displays the "Edit Customer" form, for the customer you've selected.
4. You may also delete customers from your store, via the [Delete] button. Be careful as you won't be able to undo a delete operation, except through the restoration of a recently performed database backup.
5. To find customer from the list, use [Find] button.
6. You can also import and/or export customers to/from your store, by launching the Import/Export wizard. To do so, select the relevant button in the toolbar of the Customers section. See the detailed pages of the documentation on the import and export operations.
You may also export customer data to a separate, .xls formatted file, by selecting the [Export to Excel] button.
7. To view which group(s) a selected customer belongs to, choose the "Customer Groups" tab:
In the "Customer Groups Data" window you will see the list of available groups. Using the toolbar, you may create a new group of customers, edit or delete existing customers.
8. You may export current customer(s) reports and account information to PeachTree, or QuickBooks accounting applications, from Store Manager. To do so, press the applicable button, in the toolbar, from the "Manage Customers" page.
