How to Add a Client
Create client profiles with business details, contact info, and service location — from the Clients page or inline from a job.
Adding a client
Create a client profile that your team can use across jobs, scheduling, and client history. Each client record stores the business name, contact details, service location, and internal notes in one place. Once saved, the client becomes available when you create and manage jobs.
Prerequisites
You need permission to create clients. Owners and Managers can create clients. Techs cannot create or view client records.
Adding a client from the Clients page
Go to the Clients page
Open Clients from the main navigation. The Clients page shows all clients for your company, sorted alphabetically, so you can quickly confirm whether the client already exists before adding a new one.
Click Add Client
Click Add Client to open the client creation form. Use this form when you want to create a full client record before building a job around it.
Choose the account type
Choose whether this client is a Commercial account or a Residential account. Use Commercial for offices, retail, restaurants, medical, and other business accounts. Use Residential for homeowners, rentals, and other residential clients.
The account type changes some field labels and validation rules in the form. Commercial is selected by default.
Enter the business name
Add the client's main account name. The field label adapts based on the account type you selected: Account / company name for Commercial accounts and Client or household name for Residential accounts. NoSavvy uses this name throughout the platform to identify the client in lists, jobs, scheduling views, and client records.
This field is required. After you save, this name becomes the main label you see on the client detail page and in client selections.
Enter the primary contact name
Add the name of the main person you communicate with when needed. For Commercial accounts, the field label is Primary contact and the field is required. For Residential accounts, the field label is Contact name (if different) and the field is optional.
On Residential accounts, fill in this field only when the contact person is different from the client or household name.
Add email and phone
Enter the client's email address and phone number. Both fields are optional, but adding them now gives your team the contact information they need without having to track it down later.
The phone field has a 14-character limit and formats the number as you type. If you leave either field blank, NoSavvy saves the client without it.
Enter the service location
Add the street address, city, state, and zip code for the service location. The section label reads Service location for Commercial accounts and Service address for Residential accounts. Select the state from the full list of 50 states, and enter a zip code with up to 5 digits.
NoSavvy combines these fields into a single service location for the client record. Your team can then use that address when viewing jobs and navigating from scheduling and job details.
Add client notes
Use the notes field for operational details your team needs on the job, such as alarm codes, parking instructions, building access details, or special on-site rules. For Commercial accounts, the field label is Client notes / facility info and the placeholder text reads Alarm codes, parking rules, access notes... For Residential accounts, the field label is Client notes and the placeholder text reads Gate codes, pets, parking, access notes...
This field is optional. Add only information your team needs to do the work consistently and arrive prepared.
Click Save
Click Save to create the client. A success message appears, and NoSavvy redirects you to the client's detail page.
When the save is complete, the new client record is active and ready to use in jobs.
Creating a client from the job form
You can also create a client without leaving the job creation form. Click + New Client next to the client dropdown to open a quick-create window with the same fields.
Use inline client creation when you are already building a job and realize the client does not exist yet. The quick-create window includes the business name, primary contact, email, phone, service location, and notes, so you can finish the client record without interrupting your workflow.
After you save, NoSavvy adds the new client directly to the job form's client dropdown and selects it for you automatically. The page does not reload, so you can continue filling out the job form immediately.
On the inline form, the street address is required. On the full Add Client page, the service location fields are optional.
Client notes are visible to your whole team on the job detail page. Use notes for operational details like gate codes, parking instructions, and access information so everyone has what they need before they arrive.
Where to go next
After you create a client, you can edit the client if details change or review client history to see past work and related activity.
