Modifying Clients

To modify an existing client's details, you will firstly need to locate the client in the database.

To find the client, use the search function by selecting the icon in the main toolbar. Enter part of the client's name into the search field (ensuring the "Clients" search option is selected so that MIDAS knows what to search for).

Locate the client in the list of search results, and click/tap that entry's corresponding icon.

You can then view and modify all the details on file for that client.

When modifying a client, the following fields are available:

FieldDescription
ClientThe client's name
OrganizationThe organization/company the client belongs to
AddressThe client or organization's postal/mailing address
PhoneThe client or organization's telephone number
CellThe client's mobile/cellular phone number
EmailThe 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 RemindersThe "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 CreditThis 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 ToBy 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 ExemptThis option, if enabled, will exclude tax from being charged on invoices for the client
Default Booking TypeWhen 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 NotesAn area to record additional information or internal notes relating to this client

Once you've finished updating the client's details, select the "Modify Client" button to save changes.
