Find a customer profile

To find a B2B or consumer direct customer profile, you have the choice of two search methods: quick and advanced. The quick-find method uses common search criteria, such as name, customer ID, and e-mail address. The advanced-find method uses an expanded list of search criteria that includes additional search fields such as state, country or region, and secondary e-mail address.

You can enter all or part of the information in any of the search fields. For example, if you were searching for a customer and were not certain of the spelling of his last name, you might use advanced find and enter MyLastname* in the Last name field. This would retrieve all customers associated with a particular store whose last name begins with MyLastname*.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the IBM Sales Center.

  2. Optional: Select a store.

  3. Execute one of the following actions:

    • Right-click the store in the Stores view, and then click Find > Customer (Ctrl + F, Ctrl + R).

    • Click Customer > Find from the main menu.

  4. Select a search option and enter search criteria in all fields, and then click Find. You can enter all or part of the information in each field.

    Tip: Use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard in a field to broaden the search. Search information can be entered in the following formats:

    • *

    • XXX *

    • * XXX *

    where XXX is a partial string to search on. If search information is entered in any other format, the Find button will be disabled.

    Tip: Click a column heading in the Search result table to sort the current page of results (there may be more than one page) based on that heading.

  7. Optional: If you cannot find the customer, click New to create a new customer.
