Admins can see and manage all customers. Reps can see and manage customers that are assigned to them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Log in to the Onsight web console at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sales.onsightapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/sales.onsightapp.com\/<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Click on \u2018Customers\u2019 from the left-hand side menu.<\/li>\n<li>You will see a list of all of your existing customers. <\/li>\n<li>To add a new customer, click on &#8216;Add customer&#8217;.<\/li>\n<li>To update an existing customer, click on the name of\u00a0the customer, click the &#8216;Edit&#8217; button, make your changes and then click the &#8216;Save&#8217; button.<\/li>\n<li>To delete an existing customer, tick the box that is to the left of the customer you would like to delete and then click the &#8216;Delete&#8217; button at the top of the list.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For each customer you can specify a range of data fields and configuration options.<\/p>\n<p><b>Company Name\u00a0<\/b>(required field)<br \/>\nEnter the customer\u2019s company name in this field.<\/p>\n<p><b>Active<\/b><br \/>\nWhen a customer is set to active your reps are able to see their details in the app and they can create quotes and orders for that customer. Mark a customer as inactive if you do not want reps to be able to create orders for the customer (eg. if the customer\u2019s trade account has been suspended).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Customer Code<\/strong><br \/>\nThe customer code field records the ID or account number associated with a customer. The customer code can be used to search for customers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Billing Email Address<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is the email address where a copy of all orders and quotes created for the customer will be sent to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allow Login<\/strong><br \/>\nThe customer login feature allows you to create a special type of user login for your customers. When you give this login to a customer they can browse their product catalogue and submit orders just like sales reps can but the difference is that they only have access to their own information.<\/p>\n<p>When you select &#8216;Allow Login&#8217; (by selecting &#8216;Yes&#8217; from the dropdown menu), you will need to provide a login email address for your customer to use.

This setting allows you to classify customers into groups so that you can implement per-customer pricing and discounts. For each customer group you can override prices, create different price lists and restrict access to certain products. You can only select a customer group if one or more have been created previously. For more details see this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.onsightapp.com\/user-guide\/what-are-customer-groups\/\">guide on customer groups<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Allocated To<\/b> (required field)<br \/>\nThis field refers to the sales reps that are allocated to that specific customer. You can choose one or more reps to add to this field. Sales reps who are not allocated to a customer will not be able to see that customer\u2019s information nor will they be able to create orders or quotes for that customer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taxable<\/strong><br \/>\nCheck this box if you plan on charging taxes to the customer. Leave it blank if you are not. Learn more about customer taxation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onsightapp.com\/user-guide\/how-do-i-set-up-customer-taxes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Image<\/strong><br \/>\nUpload a business card or some other visual representation of the customer here.<\/p>\n<p>Only .jpg, .png and .gif formats are allowed and you can only upload one image per customer. Images should ideally not exceed 10MB in size.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notes<\/strong><br \/>\nAdding a customer note to a customer\u2019s profile can help you and your sales team keep track of a customer\u2019s order\/quote preferences, your previous and upcoming meetings with them, follow-ups, or any other information that you think is important.<\/p>\n<p>Customer notes only appear on the customer\u2019s profile and not on orders or quotes. Customers are therefore not able to see these notes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contacts<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is the primary person to contact when needing to communicate with the customer. You can add more than one contact if need be.<\/p>\n<p><b>Address<\/b><br \/>\nUse this tab to store the billing address and shipping address for the customer.<\/p>\n<p><b>Custom fields<\/b><br \/>\nOn this tab you can add extra fields for showing additional information for each customer. This will then be displayed in the customer database on the mobile app. It can also be displayed on your orders and quotes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Related articles:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/user-guide\/how-do-i-bulk-upload-my-customer-data\/\">How do I bulk upload my customer data<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/user-guide\/how-do-i-manage-customers\/\">How do I manage customers in the mobile app?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The instructions below explain how reps and admins can manage customers using the web console.
