For properties and contacts, you can set one to be primary, billing or both. Some things happen in Pool Brain automatically based on which is selected.

How to set a property or contact as primary or billing

  • If only one property/contact exists for a customer, it is set as both primary and billing by default

  • If more than one property/contact exists, hover over the property/contact you want to set as primary and/or billing. You will see "set primary" and "set billing" options appear. Click either option to change the setting as shown below.

  • Address and info for that location will display by default when navigating to Customer page (other properties can always be accessed from direct search or by clicking on them from locations tab)
