The CardFile header records information relating to the card code, name, postal and delivery addresses, contact name, and type (customer, vendor, etc.).
The following fields and checkboxes appear in the CardFile header when on the Card tab (bottom left of form).

Click on the Card Code wording, which is a hyperlink, allowing viewing of the customer's debtor record, vendor's creditor record, creating a quote for a prospect, or creating a list of their objects.
If the cardfile is ticked as both a customer and a vendor, Creditors can also be viewed from here.

Once the Customer, Vendor or User (any or all) has been selected as the cardfile type(s) and the cardfile saved, those selection(s) cannot be unticked. However, unticking the Active box will make that particular type inactive. Any cardfile type can be made inactive to effectively hide a cardfile that has transactions recorded against it (since only cardfiles with no recorded transactions can be deleted). See CardFile Merging & Deleting for information on how to delete cardfiles which don't have any recorded transactions in Jim2.
|
If the address details are changed on a cardfile, this information will flow through to all jobs from that point onward – it will not update address details on objects already booked/finished, etc. for historical purposes.
|
If a customer or vendor has been made inactive for any reason, whenever a user tries to use that cardfile, they will be prompted with a message:

|
Most Jim2 forms have hidden hyperlinks that open another relevant form. The CardFile header has only one hyperlinked field: Card Code. If the cardfile is that of a customer, the Card Code field will go to that customer's debtor record. Similarly, if it is a vendor, this will open their creditor record. If the cardfile is both a customer and a vendor, the choice to view debtors or creditors is available. If a prospect, you can create a quote, or open a quote list. More information about hyperlinks can be found here.
