Creating New Clients

Creating New Clients

STEP 1: Click the icon in the top right-hand corner - OR - click on the + New Client button within the Clients tab. 

STEP 2: Enter applicable information into the pop-up window

​

  • Select the appropriate professional from the dropdown

  • First and Last Names

  • Birthday

    • The "Minor" button will automatically be checked if the client is under 18

  • Phone Number

  • Email Address

If you want the client to use the client portal system, make sure to check the “Enroll in Client Portal” button after adding their email address. For minor clients, use one parent's/guardian's email address. If applicable, you can enter the other's in the next step.


Adding an amount to the "Starting Balance" field will automatically place a balance due on the client's account upon creation-- regardless of whether they've had an appointment with you. This is most often used if you require a deposit or some other initial starting fee.
