Can I save a customer record without selecting a CARD TYPE under the statistical area of the screen?

Yes, but DO NOT DO IT. Indicating the CARD TYPE in this area indicates more information about the account. This is extremely important if you are creating a TEMPORARY card. In this case you will need to select either the CASH DEPOSIT or INTERNET ONLY card type in the statistical area. INTERNET ONLY will only allow the customer to use the Internet and blocks them from checking items out using the self-check as well.
