Customer Search Permissions
Overview
Sales Reps, CSR's and Partner Account Executives who manage accounts through PeakCommerce now have the ability to use a search feature in replacement of loading all accounts automatically.
The Customer Search permission determines if the Customer Account Summary list is displayed in full or by search criteria. The Customer Account Summary list is found on the Account Executive and Partner Account Executive portals under the 'My Customers' tab on the left side navigation.
This permission is located under:
Users > Profiles > Edit Profile > My Customers > Customer Search
Configuration
The Load Account Permission has three options:
None
Full
Threshold
Label | Description |
None | No customers will be displayed in the Customer Account Summary list until a value is entered into the search field and the Search button is clicked. |
Full | All customer accounts will be queried, cached, and displayed. |
Threshold | This value determines whether all customer accounts are displayed or if the search feature would be required to return customer accounts which fit the search criteria. For threshold values less than or equal to the total number of customer accounts, no accounts will display until the search feature is executed. For threshold values greater than the total number of customer accounts, all accounts will be displayed upon opening the page. |
