What is the Customer Visifile?
The customer visifile is the first page you come to when you select a customer record. It will provide quick sets of important information for the customer including financials, contacts and messages.
Customer Snapshot & Financials
The customer snapshot provides important basic information about the customer record you are currently looking at. This includes the full customer name, ID, and status.
If this record is a department record for a larger company you will see the Parent ID field filled in with the ID of the parent department record. You can use this to easily identify a department vs. a primary record. Use the magnifying glass next the to ID to navigate to the parent department record.
The notes section here can be populated with quick important information that everyone should know about this customer when looking at their record. This can be helpful for quick things that will not change on the record but for more specific sets of information, we recommend utilizing the messages option below where you can see date and rep who saved the information.
Customer Tree
The Customer Tree toggle will effect Financials, Contacts, and Messages shown on the visifile.
Account View - This option will only show information from this specific record. This includes Contacts, messages logged, and financial details for this specific primary or department record you are looking for.
Master View - This option will include related department records, if applicable. Financials will include all financial details from any departments under the current record you are viewing. Contacts will include any contacts associated with any related department records including the primary. Messages will include messages from all related departments.
