Search, Filter, and Sort Clients

• Use the Search box on the client list to filter by name, email, or company.

• Click column headers to sort (e.g., by Created date or Balance).

• Status badges (NEW, ACTIVE) help you visually triage records.

Editing & Lifecycle

• Change Status (e.g., New → Active) from the Profile tab.

• Update Tax ID or Language/Currency any time; new settings apply to future invoices.

• Maintain Credit Limit to control spending and alerting.

• Keep Admin Notes for internal context (billing agreements, support history, etc.).

Best Practices

• Keep addresses current—billing address prints on invoices.

• Use Users & permissions to grant least-privilege access.

• Prefer Add Funds Proforma for prepayments; reconcile via Transactions.

• Review Services after order to confirm status (look for ERROR badges and fix product-side issues).

Troubleshooting

• Invoice in wrong currency → Check client Currency in Profile before creating invoices.

• Taxes not applying as expected → Verify Home Company tax rules and client Tax ID.

• User cannot see services → Revisit Users → permissions (grant Manage Services).

• Provisioning error on service → Open service details and review the last error note; re-run or fix product configuration.

Shortcuts

• Clients → Manage Clients: quick search and open profile.

• On Summary, use Login as Owner to replicate the customer view for support.

You’re done!

You can now add clients, attach their users and addresses, create services, and manage billing—everything from one place in PUQcloud Panel.
