Customer notes, files and history

In this article
The short answer

Everything about one customer lives in their record. Click Customers in the menu on the left, then click the customer's row. Customer Info holds their balance, details, a Comment box for notes and their Images / Files. The Projects, Appointments, Subscriptions and Overview tabs show the work and money that went through them. Files you upload start hidden from the customer.

Open a customer's record

  1. Click Customers in the menu on the left.
  2. Find the customer. Type a name, email or phone number in the search box to narrow the list.
  3. Click their row. The record opens over the page, with their phone, address and email at the top.
A customer record on the Customer Info tab: balances, Customer Details, Comment and Images / Files
The three boxes at the top show what the customer owes and what they have paid you in total.
BoxWhat it shows
DueMoney the customer owes you.
Past DueWhat the customer owes that is past its due date.
Total SalesEvery successful payment this customer has made, across appointments and invoices, added up once. It counts what was collected before refunds and fees.

Keep notes on a customer

The Comment box under Customer Details is for notes your team should see every time they open this customer: a gate code, where to park, who to ask for. It's the same text you typed in Customer Details when you added them.

  1. Next to Customer Details, click Edit. The Comment box becomes editable.
  2. Type your note.
  3. Click Save at the bottom of the window.

The Company field in the same place is for a business name, if the customer is one.

Add photos and files

  1. On Customer Info, under Images / Files, click Upload Pictures / Files.
  2. In Upload Documents, drag your files in or click browse your file, then click Upload. The window lists the formats it accepts and the size limit for documents.

Each file shows its name, size and the date it was added. Use the buttons on its row:

  • Download saves a copy. Images also have Preview.
  • The eye button decides whether the customer can see the file. New files start as Hidden from customer. Click the eye to show it, click it again to hide it.
  • The × on the right deletes the file.

Common problems

  • Upload Pictures / Files and Edit are greyed out. This customer has been deleted. Their record can be read but not changed.
  • The Comment box won't let you type. Click Edit first.
  • Only Customer Info shows, no Projects or Appointments. Your plan is a website-only plan, which doesn't include jobs or appointments.
