The new X3 web layout makes managing customer addresses easier and more intuitive. The data has been restructured and can be easily filtered and sorted.
Customer list #
Address overview #
Customer list contains the following columns: Code (supplier number), status (green tick – active, red cross – deleted), company, contact person, postal address, communication details, (open) offers, turnover in the current financial year.
The ems (system) internal number is assigned automatically on an ongoing basis. However, additional external reference numbers can be specified. Both codes are displayed in the Code column.
Configure columns #
You can show and hide the columns depending on what information you need or if your screen is not large enough. This is done using the cogwheel symbol at the top right.
Activate or deactivate the columns as you wish and click on Save. Click on the red back arrow to reset the column settings to default.
Sort customer addresses alphabetically #
It is possible to sort the customer addresses according to codes, customer groups, companies, persons and the postal address of customers. To do this, click on the 2 arrows symbol to the right of the column name.
Reference numbers / codes #
Two additional external numbers/codes can be stored as reference numbers: any values can be entered in both fields. By default, only one field is displayed for the reference number.
The 2nd reference number can be activated in the settings.
The search for the 2nd reference number is only possible if it is activated.
In the address overview, the 1st reference number is displayed in addition to the internal system number.
Highlight addresses in color #
Addresses can be color-coded for easier searching and orientation. The color coding is done in the address.
Search and filter customer addresses #
The search is based on the full text by default. If you want to search by (internal or external) number, limit the search using the corresponding option in the search options.
Filters can also be applied: by customer group, language, federal state / canton, town and country. To filter by properties, click on“by properties”.
Deleted customer addresses #
Normally, only active addresses are displayed. If you want to display the deleted/deactivated addresses, select the Show deleted customers filter option and then click on Apply filter.
Filter by relationships #
To filter by relationships, use the corresponding function in the top bar.
The address list opens, sorted by relationships. You can filter not only according to the relationship type (1), but also according to the customer address groups (2). The search can also extend to deleted customers (3). To filter, click on Apply filter (4).
Deleting and restoring addresses #
The addresses can be deleted. This is done via the three-bar menu to the right of the contact and under the list for deleting selected addresses. The address is not deleted, but only marked as inactive and does not appear in the normal search.
