Customer Management

The correct wording should be non-property management, because in this part you will find both the customers themselves, both simple contacts.

You can classify customers into 4 types:

  • Customers: contacts willing to buy a property

  • Owners: contacts willing to sell a property

  • Both: contacts that have both a house for sale and are looking for another one

  • None: simple contacts (eg Notaries, etc. Manufacturers. etc.).

These types are fixed, whereas the user can create on their own customer groups, so you can organize them as you want (for example: Colleagues, Notaries, etc. etc.).

Customer list

The customer list contains all the names in the archive

Figure 3.2. Customer list

Customer list

1. Customer details

Shows the most important information about the customer: name or company name, phone, email, etc.

2. Customer type

The icons indicate the type of customer: Customer, Owner, Both, or None

3. Customer ordering

Allows you to sort the list of customers

4. Free search

Inside the free search you can enter keywords, automatically generated by Domus Organizer while saving the customer. The indexed fields are the following:

  • Name, Surname, Company Name

  • Email address

  • Telephone number (use digits only, for example 555123456)

  • VAT number

  • Customer type

  • Customer group

So, for example, if we look for Smith Notaries, Domus Organizer will suggest all customers with the last name Smith and in the group Notaries.

Single customer

The view of each customer is done in two steps: first in read-only mode, after which only authorized users may enter in edit mode.

The page is divided into multiple tabs:
