Figure 3-1 Customer Search

This figure shows the Customer Search.

Rules for Searching

  • Matching: Unless otherwise indicated, the results are restricted to customer records that begin with your entry or match it exactly. For example, if you enter a postal code of 2050, the results include customers whose postal codes are 20501 or 20502.

  • Case: Searching is case-insensitive.

  • Searches for primary records only: In cases where the customer can have a primary record and additional records, such as address, email or phone number, the customer is included in search results only if the primary record matches. For example, if the postal code for the customer's primary address is 01602, but the customer also has an additional address in postal code 01609, the customer is not included in the search results if you search on postal code 01609.

Note:

Be as specific as possible when entering search information. The more specific the information, the fewer customer records are returned
