An Inactive customer is a customer without any active estimates or orders within a set amount of time. Customers can automatically be made Inactive when they exceed a set amount of time without a new estimate or new order. This allows your most active customers to appear during a default customer search. A customer can also be made inactive manually on a customer by customer basis. Inactive customers remain in your system, but will not appear in a default customer search. An Inactive customer will automatically become Active when an estimate or order is created for that customer.
