# See and browse all your customers

The Customers page opens with active customer accounts. Use the **Active**, **Inactive**, and **All** filters above the table to switch between current customers, inactive customers, or every customer account. Each row shows the customer's Name, Notes, Status, and Created At. Status shows **Inactive** for inactive customers and stays blank for active customers. Click a column header to sort (the list opens sorted by Name), and click a row to open that customer.

After a second office is added in Business Profile, an **Office** column sits between Name and Notes. It shows which location (or locations) the customer's work runs out of; records without an additional-office assignment show **Main office**. See [Create offices to organize your locations](/administration/settings/create-offices-to-organize-locations.md).

On an individual customer, the **Properties** tab also gains an **Office** column. It shows each property's effective office, including a property-specific override or the office inherited from the customer.

The **New Customer** button in the top right adds one. The "..." menu next to it exports the customer list currently selected: active customers, inactive customers, or all customers. The export action's label matches the selected filter. Click the magnifying glass above the table to search customer names, notes, or other table details across all pages. Search works together with the status filters. [Learn about table search](/getting-started/getting-started/search-tables.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://learn.withessential.com/customers-and-work/customers/see-and-browse-all-your-customers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
