CustomerBean

Description

This bean contains all information related to a customer of EService. This information is likely a subset of the full set of information any company is likely to store about a given customer, as the only information EService requires is that which facilitates the processing of jobs for that customer. Thus information such as gender, account numbers, current balance or other non job-critical information can not be stored in the defualt customer storage record.

There is facility for adding a limited number of "custom" fields for all customers, allowing for the the storing of other job-critical datums not covered by the default fields, on a per organisation basis. These extra fields are called attributes, and should be set up during initial setup of the organisation.
