Clients

Create, maintain, and securely manage client records.

Summary

Client records are the foundation for appointments, treatment notes, and invoicing.

Prerequisites

  • Authenticated user with client-management permissions.
  • Client consent process defined for your practice.

Steps

  1. Open the client management area and select New Client.
  2. Enter required identity and contact details.
  3. Record consent fields and communication preferences.
  4. Save and verify searchability by name or email.
  5. Review audit trail and field updates after modifications.

Best Practices

  • Keep contact details current to reduce failed reminders.
  • Record meaningful notes in structured fields before free-text notes.
  • Use client relationships only when operationally necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • If a client cannot be found in search, confirm exact spelling and recent save state.
  • If restricted fields are hidden, verify your role permissions with an administrator.
