Customer Records

LobbyCentral retains all information added to the customer record until it is deleted from the system by a user. At a minimum, LobbyCentral will create a record for each new customer containing the customer's first and last name. Editable fields in the customer record are:

First Name	Zip Code
Middle Name	Mobile Phone
Last Name	Other Phone
Birthday	Email
Address	Customer ID
City	Comments
State	Special Instructions
Status	Kiosk Check-In (Allow/Do Not Allow) *

Kiosk Check-in* If Kiosk Check-in is set to Do not Allow, a message will appear if the customer attempts to check in through the kiosk. A message will appear in the kiosk instructing the customer to see an employee. The default message is shown below; however, a custom message may be created by typing the message in the Special Instructions field.

In addition, custom fields may be created in the customer record for company specific needs. For information on creating custom fields to be saved to the customer record, please review Custom Fields.

Customer records are created as each new customer checks in through LobbyCentral for the first time. However, the administrator may use Customer File Import in administration, to upload existing customer records to LobbyCentral. For more information about importing data, please review Customer File Import.

The Customer Record Window contains five tabs: Properties, Custom Fields, Account, Request History, and Comments History.

Properties	Contains editable customer information, such as name, address, date of birth, etc.
Custom Fields	Created in administration, custom fields are used to collect additional information about the customer, such as gender or case number.
Account	Displays any account IDs created for the customer. User can also create a new Account ID from this tab.
Request History	Contains all previous visit records for customer. Visit Records are View only, and can not be edited from this screen. To edit a closed request, please review Service Record History - Search & Edit.
Comments History	Displays user comments from previous visit records
