How to search, filter, and sort customers in Dumpster Controls

The toolbar above the table narrows hundreds of profiles down to the one you need in seconds.

1. Search

   Type in the box with the placeholder "Search customers...". It matches the customer's name, company name, and email as you type.

2. Filter by status

   The status dropdown offers "All Status", "Active", and "Inactive". Inactive profiles keep their full history but drop out of the default workflows.

3. Filter by type

   The type dropdown offers "All Types", "Residential", "Contractor", and "Broker", each with its icon.

4. Sort

   Click the "Name", "Lifetime Value", or "Orders" column headers to sort; click again to flip the direction. The count next to the filters shows how many customers match.

5. Select rows

   Checkboxes on each row (and a select-all in the header) let you mark customers while you work through a list.

What happens next

• Changing the search, a filter, or the sort resets the table to page 1.

Troubleshooting

A customer I know exists is not showing.

Check the status filter: they may be "Inactive". Also try searching by email or company name instead of the person's name.
