Customer Setup

After adding a customer, as described above, you can enter a variety of information about them from this window.  The information on each tab is described below.

General Tab

The General tab contains basic customer information, such as name and contact information and an automatically generated Customer Key to identify the customer.  Aside from standard contact information, there other fields that may require additional explanation below.

• Customer Type: This is a customizable designation for customers such as individuals, groups, or organizations. The first three contact fields might change depending on what you select for this field.
• Waiver History: This provides information about a customer's record regarding their waivers.
• Audit Info: Provides a history of changes made to the customer’s information, starting with the last change and continuing to the customer's creation. Each edit has a date and time and documents the employee who made the change.
  
  
• Scramble and View Customer Record: These buttons allow you to scramble customer information and view their information respectively, in compliance with GDPR.
  
  

Address Tab

The Address tab lets you record the customer's mailing and physical address. The Use Custom Address check box removes most of the extra fields and lets you write it manually in a single text box.

The Copy Address button opens the customer search window where you can search for and select a customer whose address you want to copy to the current record.

Copy From Above copies the mailing address to the physical address if they are the same. 

Info Tab

The Info tab contains other information about the customer including visit data, rewards program and winnings data, total money spent, credit details, alternate contact information, and communication preferences.

You can modify the customer's Reward Points and Winnings by clicking Modify next to each field. You can also click the pencil icon to change the rewards program a customer is in and the program start date.

The remaining fields are for alternate contact information, a Tax Exempt ID, which you can use to remove taxes for purchases including in the POS, communication preferences, and a button to Reset Game Stats.

Communication settings can reflect a customer's preferences, including whether they want to opt out of any types of marketing. Customer Ad-Hoc Reports have filters for this information and you can get a summary of it in the Business Intelligence Tool.

Relationships Tab

The Relationships tab defines parent/child relationships between customers. The top half of the tab is for associating customers who are parents of the current customer, and the bottom is for customers who are children of the current customer.

Clicking either Add A New Parent Relationship or Add A New Child Relationship will bring up a customer search field. After selecting a customer, they will be added to the appropriate section, and their entry will display their name and relationship to the current customer.

For parent relationships you can also choose Guardian, Auth Pickup For, Contact, or Other if these terms are a better fit.

For child relationships, you can also choose Dependent, Auth Pickup For, Contact Of, or Other if those fit better.

Each relationship also has the following buttons:

• Notes: This button opens a window to add more details about the relationship. When an entry has notes, the button will appear yellow.
• Search: Prompts a customer search window, to select a different customer for this relationship.
• Remove: Deletes the parent/child association.
• Go To Customer: Saves any changes made to the current customer and open the linked customer’s record. This requires a confirmation, so you don't leave the current customer by accident.

Cards Tab

The Cards tab lists each player/gift card associated with the customer, including its number and whether it is active. There is a Credit Linked field to show any credit cards linked to it. There is also a Delete button to remove lost or discontinued cards, and a Card History button to see usage history of the player/gift card. At the bottom is the Add Card Number button, which can add additional cards to the customer account if they are swiped or manually entered.

Passes Tab

The Passes tab lists any passes the customer has on file, which you can filter by whether they are active. Each pass displays its Description, Status, Expire Date, and its # Of Uses.

This tab lets you add up to three Emergency Contacts.  Select Custom from the Emergency Contact field to manually enter the information or select Link To Customer, if you want an existing customer to serve as the contact.  Clicking the magnifying glass icon lets you search for and select that customer.
