MIDAS Documentation v4.37
Adding Clients
New Clients can be added to MIDAS in either of the following ways:
MIDAS » Documentation » Adding Clients - When adding a new booking, clicking / tapping the icon alongside the "Client" field on the "Add Booking(s)" screen will pop open a new window allowing you to enter details for a new client. Once details have been entered select the "Add New Client" button at the bottom of this window to save the client. The window will close, and the client's name and organization will then be shown on the booking form, allowing you to make a booking for the new client.
- By searching for a client via the icon in the main toolbar. If the client you search for cannot be found in the database, an icon will be displayed, which when selected will allow you to enter details for a new client and add them to the database.
When adding a new client, the following fields are available by default:
| Field | Description |
| Client | The client's name |
| Organization | The organization / company the client belongs to |
| Address | The client or organization's postal/mailing address |
| Phone | The client or organization's telephone number |
| Cell | The client's mobile / cellular phone number |
| The client's email address. Multiple email addresses may be added for a client by entering each address on a separate line Tip: If you wish to be able to send booking confirmations, email invoices, or contact clients via email directly from within MIDAS, a valid email address must be specified for your clients | |
| Email Reminders | The "e-mail Reminders" setting can be used in conjunction with Scheduled Tasks to automatically send the client reminders of their upcoming bookings and / or unpaid invoices |
| Current Credit | This field allows you to maintain a line of "credit" for the client. This amount will then automatically be deducted from subsequent invoices for the client, until the Current Credit reaches zero |
| Invoice To | By default, bookings for this client will also be invoiced to this client. Use the "Invoice To" option if you wish invoices for this client's bookings to instead go to a different client. This is useful in instances where the client whom a booking is for differs from the person/organization to be invoiced for their booking |
| Tax Exempt | This option, if enabled, will exclude tax from being charged on invoices for the client |
| Default Booking Type | When selecting a client on the Add/Modify Bookings screen, you may also separately select a booking type. The "Default Booking Type" setting however allows you to have a certain booking type "preselected" whenever this client is chosen A user may still go on to manually change a selected booking type on their Add/Modify Bookings screen (unless you also hide the Booking Type field from them) |
| Client Notes | An area to record additional information or internal notes relating to this client |
Tip: You can also add your own custom client fields
