The Our Clients page is where you keep a record of every customer and insurance company you deal with.

On this page

Before you start

You need reception or clients permission.

Finding this in the UI

  • Left sidebar → Our Clients opens the page directly.
  • From the Reception hub (Dashboard → Reception, reachable via the sidebar's Dashboard item or the footer's Reception link), the Quick Actions section has a View button under "Our Clients."
  • The header and footer don't link here directly beyond the Reception hub route above.

Viewing clients

Go to Our Clients (/dashboard/reception/our-clients). By default the table lists all clients, with a Search Clients box to filter by name, email, or phone number. Flip the Show Insurance Clients Only switch (top right) to filter the table down to insurance companies only. Columns shown: Name, Email, Phone Number, Alternative Phone, Address, VAT Reg. Number, Created At, and an edit action.

Frequently asked questions
