With the recently added abilities to search for customers based on email address, name, phone number etc. a common comment is that it is frustrating that the information you have typed in your search does not automatically populate when you create a new customer. Take the following scenario; Customer comes in, cashier asks - "Are you already registered with us?" Customer responds - "I don't know, but I would be interested in email updates" Cashier - "Let me take your email address and I will check" Cashier enters the email address provided in the search box, and searches by email No results are returned Cashier - "It looks like you are not in our systems, let me create a record for you quickly" Cashier opens the new customer form, and needs to ask for the email address again. Often customers have complicated email addresses, with numbers or complex spelling - having to ask for it twice is embarrising and customers often then just say, don't worry about it. It would be great if using your last search, when you click the 'Create New Customer' button, it pre-populates the relevant field, based on the criteria you selected.
