Mobile App Customers Tutorials
💡These tutorials explain how to find, add and edit customers in the Mobile App, call, email or message them, and add their addresses, contacts, attributes, notes and images.
In the Mobile App pages, “tap” means tap on a touch screen or left-click with a mouse.
Some buttons appear only if your User Access to the Customers module allows them (see Mobile App Customers Interface).
Notes, images and other changes made in the Mobile App also appear in the desktop app. If a customer’s notes and attachments are open in the desktop app, click Refresh (button) on the notes-and-attachments panel to see those added on the Mobile App.
