Changing an Existing Customer Record

 
Once a customer record has been set up, you have more options available.
 

Who can change a Customer record?

To change a customer record your user account must have the Edit Customer Records option box checked, or your user record must show that you are a super user or MasterQ Manager.  (Other Agenda Development programs may also give access to these features in their user set-up procedures.)
 

Changing a Customer record

From the main menu, select BROWSE|CUSTOMERS.  Highlight the customer you wish to modify and double click or press the enter key to call up the customer's record.
 
Browse tables in MasterQ and all other Agenda Development programs include many features to help you sort, filter and locate a specific item.  Click here for more information.
