MicroBiz can store "How Heard Codes" so you can keep track of how your customers are finding your business.

You can run a "Sales Source Report" (accessible under Reports, Sales Source) to to find out which How Heard Code is recorded for each customer in a couple of ways, depending on your personal preference:

  1. Sales Source at Time of Sale – You can set up MicroBiz to ask for the How Heard Code before completing each sale.
    • To use this method effectively, you should enable "Enter Shipping Information at F9" under Management, Customize, Print Settings.
  2. Customer's Original Source – You can enter each customer's How Heard Code with the rest of their information at the Add/Edit Customer screen.
    • You can do both of these, as either report is always available to you.


The How Heard Maintenance window has the following options:

  • Code – The short name MicroBiz uses to identify the How Heard category.
  • Description – The full description of the How Heard category.
  • Order By – All How Heard categories are sorted by their Code, but you can enter a search term in the box to the right to jump to a specific one.
  • Help – Displays the context-specific help window (always accessible by pressing F1 on your keyboard).
  • Edit – Allows you to make changes to the currently selected How Heard Code.
  • Add – Allows you to create a new How Heard Code.
  • Delete – Deletes the currently selected How Heard Code.
  • Close – Closes the How Heard Codes window.
