Customers Grid

Use the Customers grid to associate customers with contracts. You associate a customer record with a contract record when you add it to the Customers grid. Both records reflect the association.

The fields on this grid display information from the customer record in the Customer Info Center.

Field Description
Customers Drop-down

Click the drop-down arrow on a grid header to complete any of the following actions:

  • To print grid data, click Print. On the Print Preview form, click File > Print to send the grid data to your default printer.
  • To export grid data to an Excel spreadsheet, click Export to Excel. When Microsoft Excel opens, use its features to modify, print, or email the grid data, or to save the spreadsheet file locally.
  • To turn on grouping for a grid, click Enable Grouping. When a field displays with the instruction: "Drag a column header here to group by that column," drag and drop column headers into the field, in the sequence that you want them to display.

Not all options are available on all grids.

Type This field displays the customer type.

You cannot mark a customer with type Owner as Confidential on the General Tab of the Contract Info Center. Only a customer marked Primary can also be marked Confidential. This affects GovWin Capture Management Proposals because the Owner customer's name displays in Blocks 8s and 9 of the 255 Proposal. The 255 pulls the owner name, address, contact person and phone number from the Customers/Contacts tab for the agency and person selected as Owner.

Status This field displays the customer's status, which reflects your company's current relationship with the customer. The customer's status displays as: Active, Dormant, or Inactive.
Address Description This field displays the customer's address description. The address description determines the address that displays in the Address field on the Customers grid. By default, GovWin Capture Management displays the address description associated with the customer's primary address, which means that the customer's primary address displays in the Address field.

If you want to display an address other than the primary address in the Address field, click Search in the Address Description field and select a different address description from the lookup. When you select a different address description, the address associated with that description displays in the Address field.

If you delete the Primary address from the General tab of the Customer Info Center, the address is also removed from this tab.

Phone This field displays the customer's phone number.
Address This field displays the customer's street address. By default, GovWin Capture Management displays the primary customer address in this field. If you entered more than one address for a customer, and you want to display an address other than the primary address in this field, use the Address Description field to select a different address description. When you select a different address description, the address associated with that description displays in this field.
City This field displays the customer's city.
State/Province This field displays the customer's state or province.
Zip/Postcode This field displays the customer's ZIP or postal code.

Contacts Grid

Use the Contacts grid to associate contacts with contracts. You associate a contact record with a contract record when you add it to the Contacts grid. Both records reflect the association.

If you enter a contact name in the Primary Contact field on the General tab, the contact's name and information display in the Contacts grid. A contact record must exist in your database before you can associate it with a contract record.
