Customers

 

This displays the Customer you have setup for the default Company you are working on.  If a customer has an Invoice or Credit a + will appear next to the first column.  Click on the + to view all the Invoices or Credits that the customer has.

You may sort any of the columns by clicking on the column header.  Or if you wish to search by that column just do a right mouse click on the column header for the menu.  At the bottom of the browse table you will notice a box with an "x", a check box and on the far right a button that says Edit Filter.  You may do a more inclusive search (other than the search fields located at the top of the browse table) by clicking on the Edit Filter button.  You can select fields that are not visible to search on and see the results of those searches.  Note however that unless you clear the search after using it, it will be saved when you close the window.  When you open the window again the records will be filtered based on the saved search.

Double-click to change the information on a highlighted row.

To group the Customer Items drag a header from one of the columns into the area above the header.  It will group the list by that headers name.  To ungroup just drag the header back to the same column it came from.
