Adding Clients or Caregivers via Web Applications

Clients and Caregivers can also be added to the system via the online web applications. (Cloud only)

If a person is added via Client Inquiry or Caregiver Application, do not also manually add them to the Relationship Management Module.

Make them "Potential" from the Inquiry or Application screen to add them into the Relationship Management Module and maintain a link between the new person and their original application.
