Celebrating 20 Years of Innovation: Manager SE Tip #4

20thAnniv_ManagerLogo

As part of our celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Mitchell shop management solution, we’ve compiled 20 helpful tips for Manager SE users. We reviewed literally hundreds of ideas and selected 20 awesome tips and tricks from shops using this software every day and participating in the Manager Forum, an interactive community of Mitchell 1 Manager SE users.

These tips have been shared by shops just like yours. In their own words, they discuss their experiences and ideas that make their workday better for all concerned – and that includes you. We’ll be publishing the tips here in the Manager SE blog — one at a time — over the next several months. Enjoy!

Manager Tip #4

How can I “Tag” specific customer records?

“So I’ve been trying to find a way to ‘tag’ certain customers and then later find those ‘tagged’ records. For example, a family comes in and says they need a car. Open up their Customer screen and click in the Membership # field. Enter ‘needs car’ (something easy to remember) and save it. Now flash forward a few weeks. Another customer comes in, ‘Hey I’m selling this car, if you know anyone looking?’ Press F6 (NEW), enter ‘needs car’ (or whatever) into the Membership # field and BAM! There’s a list of the customers that you tagged with that phrase in the Membership # field. Now maybe you can call the person looking for a car and hook them up.”
