Overview of the Program
Current Customer Control
At the top of most modules is a drop box entitled “Current Customer” that holds a list of all customers (companies) entered in the Contacts module. This field is a control that allows the user to select the Customer on which to focus their sales efforts. For example: when documenting value, the user must select the Current Customer for whom they are going to measure the impact.
Initially the Current Customer control is blank and will remain so until the user enters at least one customer in the All Customers folder in the Contacts module. Then any customer that is entered in this folder will be displayed in the Current Customer control list. It is because of this that it is important to only list customers in the All Customers tab and that any variations of the company’s name be eliminated.
Note: in some modules there are two other controls for Divisions/Plants and Contracts that allow the salesperson to define specific “locations” within the customer’s organization that operate independently and therefore need to be looked at separately, or perform evaluations around specific sales opportunities.
