Filter reports and screens for active clients only

By default Practice CS includes all clients and staff regardless of status on reports and screens, whether their status is active or inactive. If you would like to limit the output to show only active clients or staff, you'll need to create a custom filter.
You may want to run historical reports on the full financial history in the application or run reports or filter screens to show only active data. For example:
  • You may want to run a client-based report and show active clients only, excluding clients you no longer provide services to.
  • You may want to run a report and exclude staff members that no longer work for the firm.
  • You may want to go to a
    Setup
     screen and filter out inactive clients, activities, or staff.
  1. Follow the steps in the

  2. Go to the
