In this article, you'll learn how to create and edit your client cards and effectively manage your clients' activity with them.
Creating client cards
A Client Card is automatically created for each client added to your account.
This will happen through adding or importing clients and also when a lead contacts your business through any website widgets or the business page you have set up.
To access a Client Card, just click on any of your clients from the Clients page in your main menu and the respective client card will open up:
Understanding client cards
Left-pane - Client information [#1]: Gives you all your important client info, the most recent note taken or updated on your client & a client activity highlights section including important past or future activities like an upcoming booking or pending payment. Multi-staff accounts will also see the client’s assigned staff member.
Middle-pane - Client activity [#2]: The client Conversation tab with all your client interactions in one single, ongoing thread. The remaining tabs summarize other client activities such as Bookings, Payments and Documents.
Right-pane - Contact information [#3]: All your client’s contact information and details are found here, as well as your client’s status and the rating they’ve given you (if applicable). You can also use this pane to manage and store your client’s payment information (Cards on File).
Adding/Editing Fields on all Client Cards
You can add fields that are presented on your client cards. You can use this to customize the information you store on your clients, and suit it for your business needs.
You can edit your Client Card fields from the Client & Contact info on your settings page or by clicking
on the Add/Edit Fields at the top of the Client Card Info tab.
There are two types of fields you can add:
Contact fields: Usually used for genral information about the client, like phone number, email, address, etc'. Contact fields are presatned on the Client Card Right Pane.
Client fields: Used for your business related client information, for example weight, Blood type, intrsests etc. Client fields are presented on the Client card Left Pane.
Note: When nesting multiple clients under one contact, for example a father is the contact and his three child are clients for a dentist, make sure you use the contact fields for the main contact (Father) and the client fields for the nested client (Child). Read more about nesting.
When creating a new field you'll need to determine:
- Display name (Label)- the title of the new field on your client card and forms.
- Type- the type of information you enter or collect.
- Collecting client information: For each client field, you can specify where and how you want to collect that information by adding it to different forms. For example, you can decide to collect your clients’ addresses when they request to book an appointment by selecting the Scheduling form from the intake forms dropdown. This will ensure that you have your client’s address in case, for example, the appointment takes place at their place of residence.
Editing an Individual Client Card
To edit an individual client’s information in their Client Card, click on the pencil icon near the top of either client information pane and adjust the information in the client card fields. Changes will save automatically.
Manage client activity
Conveniently, all your business activities related to a particular client can be managed and followed up on directly from their client card.
Go to whichever item requires action for a particular client: Bookings, Payments, Documents, etc.
Take care of what you need done with your clients right then and there: Send a reminder about an overdue payment, charge for a past appointment or invite your client to book their next appointment.
The Conversations tab keeps the complete history of exchanges between you and your client: from invoices to messages, so nothing is ever lost.
Nesting Multiple Clients under the Main Contact
It's possible to nest multiple individuals under a primary point of contact, such as multiple clients under a main point of contact, children under a parent, pets, and even various projects under a single contact. That way, you can keep track of multiple individuals while communicating with their contact person.
Changing Your Work Term
You can select the work term that fits best with your business (for example, patients or students)
To select your work term, go to the bottom of your Business Info Settings Page and choose a custom term from the dropdown.
Managing Nested Clients
All the clients associated with the contact are listed under the contact information pane. To add a new client under the same contact, click the + icon on the client's section on the information pane.
By clicking on the client's name on the information pane, you'll be able to navigate between clients under the same contact.
