Customers List

The Customers page in Business Hub is where you manage all your customers. Only users with Administrator, Sales Manager, or Sales Team roles can access the Customers page.

The Customers page contains a list of the customers that you have acquired through all of your sales channels. This includes customers who have placed orders in your primary web store and your affiliate web stores. It also includes customers that you have added yourself to Business Hub. On this page, you can add new customers, add new company contacts, view or edit existing customers, import customers, export customers, export customer designs, sort customers, and search for customers.

   Active customers are shown by default. You can choose to view deleted customers or spam customers by clicking on the Deleted or Spam tabs at the top left of the table respectively.

   Customers in the Spam tab are those that have been identified by the built-in spam filter as being spam. If you believe that the filter has incorrectly identified a customer as being spam, you can select the customer(s) and apply the Mark as Not Spam action from the Customer Actions menu.

   

   Note that if a customer is flagged as spam, their quotes and orders will not appear in the Quotes and Orders lists.

   If you are certain that customers have been correctly identified as spam, you can select the customer(s) and apply the Delete Selected Customers action from the Customer Actions menu.

Notes icons

Icons may sometimes appear beside the customer name in the Customer column.

The icons indicate that there are notes associated with the customer. The notes can be either internal notes or notes sent to or from the customer.

Hover the mouse pointer over the notes icon to show the list of notes. The user who created the note and the date and time of creation is shown for each note.

Sorting customers

By default, customers will be sorted by registration date, starting with the latest registration date to the earliest. You can change how the Customers list is sorted by clicking on any of the enabled field names (highlighted in blue) in the header row.

An initial click on a particular field name will cause the list to be sorted by that field, in descending order. Clicking on the same field name again will cause the list to be sorted by that field in ascending order.

The current sort field will be indicated by the field name cell being filled with a gray background. The current sort order will be indicated by a down arrow or an up arrow after the field name. A down arrow indicates descending order and an up arrow indicates ascending order.
