Set Up a Client Portal Account

Path: Main Menu > Admissions Menu > Face Sheet

About

Portal access is given to clients through the Face Sheet (if your Agency is contracted for the Client Portal). You can create a portal account for the client or a representative that the client may need to give access to their information (e.g. family member, social worker, etc.). There is also an option to notate if the client refused a portal login so that your staff knows this client declined a portal login at future visits. Below you'll learn how to:

Add a Client Portal Login

  1. Navigate to the Face Sheet by following the path above.
  2. Search for and select the client, and click the Edit button.
  3. Scroll down to the Client Portal section, and click the Add Client Portal Login button.

Note: If the client refused a portal login, select the Client Refused Portal Login checkbox so that your staff can easily see the client has been asked but refused.

  1. Enter the following information in the Portal Login window:
  • Portal Username: This is what the client or representative will use to log in to the Client Portal.
  • Password: Enter the password that will be used to log in to the Client Portal.
  • Confirm Password: Reenter the password from above.
  • Representative: Click this checkbox if the portal user created is a representative of the client.
  • Active: This checkbox is selected by default and should be checked to allow login to the Client Portal.

  1. Click the Save button. The portal user is added to the Client Portal section.

  1. Provide the Portal Username and Password to the client or client representative.
  2. Repeat the above steps if you need to add additional portal logins for this client.

Note: The Agency Portal URL is displayed and can be provided to the client. Please note your Agency's URL is different than the example in the screenshot below.
