Search Customers
Search is used to locate customer information and filter a result list based on common data points of information within the database.
Search is also used to create lists for targeted marketing email campaigns, create export files and bulk modify results to add tags, or update information in each customer record.
To streamline workflows, use the search form to create saved searches for daily routines and fast reporting for metrics, sales and finance.
Keep in mind, all search features are combinatorial and can include criteria from Orders, Membership, Payment and/ore Reservation search fields.
Pro Tip: For combined searches with Omit (-) criteria always choose what you want to include first and primarily, then what you want to omit in a limited manner.
Example: Searching X, Y, and Z customer types, there would none selected to omit because the ask is for only those customer types desired.
To begin a customer search navigate to Search > Customers > Search.
To ensure the form is starting by default with blank fields always select Clear Form before beginning a new search.
