Adding Client Notes
Notes are helpful. Whether they are progress notes, SOAP or DAP notes, or just helpful tips you'd like to track. Regardless of what the note says, they are only accessible to users of providers. Clients do not have access to notes entered. This article will walk you through the process of viewing and adding notes.
Applicable User Permissions
Check your user permissions by going to the Users Menu Option in the System Navigation Side Bar.
Checking the Hide Create Client Note Button will remove the button which allows for adding new notes to a client's record from the UI thus preventing a user from being able to use the functionality.
Checking the Hide Delete Client Note Button will remove the ability for the user to delte any notes that have already been added.

2. Left click once on the client you would like to make a note or view the notes for. The menu will slide into the view on the right side of your screen.
