When you create a booking, through CloudView and the Quick Reservation, the customer details will automatically be added to your system’s database. For more information on adding customer information to a reservation, please watch How to Make a Reservation using CloudView and How to Edit Booking Details or refer to our User Guide, sections 3.1c, 3.2b-d.

You can also add and edit customer details without making a reservation.

On the menu bar, click on the tab called Corporate / Customers. This opens a dropdown menu. Click on Customers. This opens a Select Customer and Add / Edit Customer Details page.

To add new customer, scroll to the Add / Edit Customer Details section of the page. Here, you can fill in various information about your customer, such as their name, their contact details, whether they are a VIP or a BlackListed guest. Also, if you want to use the bespoke reporting facility for your customers, you can assign parameters to the customer details by selecting an option from the parameter dropdown. For more information on setting up and viewing the bespoke reports, please watch the videos How to Set up your Own Analytic Reports or How to View Analytic Reports or see our User Guide, sections, 1.7 and 5.5.

Press Submit to confirm and add the new customer details to the database.

You have successfully added a new customer.

 

If you want to edit an existing customer’s details, click on the tab on the menu bar called Corporate / Customers. This opens a dropdown menu, click on Customers. This opens a Select Customer and Add / Edit Customer Details page. In the Select Customer section of this page, you can search for a customer typing their name or email address in the search box. Customers with matching information to the search will appear in a dropdown. Click on the relevant customer from the dropdown and press Select Customer on the right of the search box to retrieve that customer’s details. These details will populate the Add / Edit Customer Details section of the page and any bookings made by that customer will appear in a grid at the bottom of the page. Here, you can add or edit the customers details. If you want to view the customer’s bookings, you can click on the pencil-edit icon on the left of the booking. This opens the booking details page. For more information on bookings, please watch the video How to Edit Booking Details or refer to our User Guide, section 2. Once you are happy with the changes to the customer details, press Submit to confirm.

If you want to view a list of all your customers or search for specific types of customer, click on the tab on the menu bar called Corporate / Customers. This opens a dropdown menu. Click on View Customers. This opens a View Customers page.

At the top of the page, there are three pie charts. These are bespoke graphs comparing the different parameters that have been selected in the customer details. Below this, there is a grid that lists all the customer details. From here you can filter the list using the search boxes underneath the column names. To change the type of filter, click on the filter icon on the left of the search box. This will open a dropdown list of different filters you can apply to the list, such as Contains or EqualTo. As well as filter the grid, you can sort the list, by dragging a column header to the top of the grid. This will organise the list according to the options in that column. For example, if you drag the VIP column header to the top of the grid the customers will be organised into those that are VIPs and those that are not.

From this grid, you can add new customer details by clicking on Add New Record on the top left of the grid. You can also edit customer details by clicking on the pencil-edit icon on the left of the customer information. This opens the Add / Edit Customer Details page and here you can add new customer details or edit an existing customer as described earlier.

You can also export the data in the View Customers list by clicking on one of the export icons on the top right of the grid. You can choose what is exported by scrolling to the bottom of the page, where there is an Export Configuration section. By ticking the relevant boxes, you can export Data Only, the Current Sorted Option, the Current Filtered Option or a combination of these. This will download the relevant data to your default download folder in the format selected on export.

For more information on exporting data, please see the video How to View and Utilise Reports, or refer to our User Guide, section 5.

You have now successfully added, edited, sorted, filtered and exported your customer details.
