Overview

SalesPad Cloud's Customer Class function allows you to create a category (or class) and set defaults for all customers assigned to the same class. This helps you group sets of customers and allows for quick customer creation. When a new or existing customer is assigned to a Customer Class, you will be prompted to roll down class defaults, like Sales Person, Sales Territory, Account settings, Price Level, and Payment Terms.

To get started, select Customer Class from the Settings menu.

Customer Classes are assigned to Customers in the New or Edit Customer drawers.

When assigning a Customer Class to a customer, you will be presented with the following window.

If you don't want a particular Customer Class setting to apply to this customer, even though you're assigning the customer to this Customer Class, uncheck the box for that default and click Apply.

When assigning a Customer Class to a customer, the customer settings that are blank will be filled to match the Customer Class settings. For example, if a customer already has a Sales Territory assigned to it and a Customer Class with a different Sales Territory is then assigned to this customer, the Sales Territory field will not be overwritten.

If a Customer Class is assigned to a customer and a field (such as Sales Territory) is then cleared out, running a data import to fill other fields will fill the cleared-out field with the Customer Class value.
