This module is designed to record information about the dealers in your mall who have items for sale and the customers to whom those items are sold. Dealer information is needed so that sales can be properly credited. Customer information, while not required, allows customer lists and mailing labels to be generated.

To view records in this module, click <View> on the Menu Bar, then <Dealer/Customer Management> from the drop down menu as depicted in the sample screen shown below.

Once the Dealer/Customer Management module is selected, the screen should look similar to:

As can be seen in the sample screen above, the following columns of data are displayed when the Dealer/Customer Management
module is first selected.

·Rec   The physical record number.  
·Del   Record deleted indicator (an X means deleted).  
·Last Name   The person's last name.  
·First Name   The person's first name.  
·Company   The company (if applicable).  
·Booth   The booth number (assigned to dealers only).  
·Codes   The person's relationship with your mall.  
·Work   The work phone number.  

noteOther fields can be viewed by using the horizontal scroll bar.  
 
Other records can be viewed by using the vertical scroll bar or the VCR Buttons at the bottom of the form.  
 
The Edit function must be invoked to see the contents of all other fields.  

By default, records are viewed in order by Last Name order when the view is first opened. There is a status field to the right of the View By button which indicates the current viewing order. The viewing order can be changed by:

·Clicking <Edit> on the Menu Bar, then clicking <View Records by>, or  
·Clicking on the <View> button in the lower left hand corner of the form, or  
·Pressing <CTRL><W> (the "short-cut" key sequence).  

Doing any of the above displays a speed menu (shown in the sample screen below) from which a different viewing order can be selected below (a check mark is displayed in front of the current order).

na_viewby  

Select a viewing order by:

·Clicking the desired order with the mouse, or  
·Using the <UP-ARROW> and <DOWN-ARROW> keys to hi-light the desired order, then press <ENTER>, or  
·Pressing the underlined letter of the desired order  

Doing any of the above re-arranges the records in the grid according to the selected order.

noteThe program attempts to keep the currently hi-lighted record in the grid at its current position, but this is not always possible.
