Piano's occasionally change hands (or get moved from one venue to another). You can preserve a piano's service history in Gazelle by "Transferring a Piano" from one client to another. Here is how:


FROM THE WEB APP

Step 1: Click on the piano you would like to assign to a different client.

Step 2: Click "More" button on the top right of the page.

Step 3: Click on "Assign Piano To A Different Client"

Step 4: Type the name of the customer you want to send this piano to.

Step 5: Select the customer, confirm, & done!


NOTE: An inactive copy of this piano will remain on the original client record as a historical archive. After you transfer the piano data you can delete this inactive piano if you no longer need a duplicate record from when it belonged to the original client.
