Advanced Customer Search

The Advanced Customer Search feature allows you to find customers using complex search criteria. This article covers how to use these features.

Overview

The Advanced Customer Search feature allows you to use the familiar condition fields in Aurora to create a variety of rules that can be combined to refine the list of customers shown on the Customers page.

Fields that can be used to search change on an ongoing basis as we continue to improve this features. This being so, to find out what you can filter against, simply click the filter button and review the list of fields available to you.

You can search for customers using one or more of the fields available. If more than one field is used in a search, "AND" logic will be applied to return results that match all of the fields searched. For example, if you search for customers who signed up after 1st Jan 2022 and are active, only customer records that satisfy both of these criteria will be returned.

The below table details what search fields are available and how they can be used.

Customer Custom Fields

Field NameDescriptionTypeMultiple Search Values SupportedExample Value
Search in FieldThe Customer Custom Fields filter allows you to first select a customer custom field to search within, and then provide a value for which to search by.

The value provided will be filtered based on an "exact match". For example, if you select a field named "Custom Field 1" and provide a value of "bench", customers with the value "bench" set for the field "Customer Field 1" will be returned, but customers with the value "benches" will not.

Any customer featuring any of the values provided will be returned (i.e. Custom Additional Fields are searched using "OR" logic).

Not all customer custom fields are searchable using this interface. The list of fields that can be searched is a matter of configuration and must be configured by Aurora Commerce on a field-by-field basis.

If you do not see a field in this list that you need to be able to filter on, please contact your Agency for assistance with this.
