Adding a Client Alert

To add a client alert to a client's record, you need to edit the client record.

  • Scroll down and click Save to save changes.

 

Client Deactivation

We never recommend deleting records in your system. Instead, we recommend you simply inactivate clients. That way you can retain the records for future use, but they will only show up in your searches and on your reports if you specifically choose to include inactive clients.

  • In order to inactivate a client, you first need to pull up their record by searching for them.
  • Once you are in the client record click on General Information.
  • Then turn off the Active toggle.
  • Click Save.

Note: All active patients for this client will become Inactive.

  • Expand the General Information section and scroll down to the bottom of the page.
  • From the Save button, select the option Merge with Another Client (if this option does not show, the employee may not have the rights to merge records).
