You can create a customer on the fly by entering a few important details. This gives you the ability to rapidly create new account without taking up valuable time with your customer with data entry.
Warning: Be careful when using special characters when creating new records from your mobile device. These special characters may make searching for records difficult going forward. For example, if you enter a customer named Michael Peña, the system will be looking for an ñ when you search for this record. This record will not come up if you search "Pena" in Inform or InformMobile, you would need to search "Peña".
