Create and Manage a Client - Reveal 11

This article provides both visual and written instructions for setting up the second-tier container for a Reveal instance.

A Client is a partition within the Company instance where multiple projects may be created. The initial set of users can then be created and assigned within separate virtual spaces. More than one Client may exist per Company. The term Clients is used in Reveal to designate specific entities that manage a Company's projects and their primary contact information. For example, a Company could be "IBM", and IBM uses multiple law firms to manage their legal matters.  Each law firm would be a Client in Reveal.  Each Client would typically manage multiple legal Projects within the Reveal Instance. An alphanumeric number designated with the Client Name is a unique identifier so that cases can be tracked and billed easily; this number may contain up to 100 characters. 

The creation and management of Clients is done by project managers and administrators either in the back-end Reveal Review Manager or in Company Admin under the Admin screen Flyout Menu in the upper left-hand corner. Here are the steps to setting up a new Client, first in Company Admin in the Reveal user interface, then in Reveal Review Manager.

1. Log in to Reveal as an Administrator.
2. Click Admin for any Project in the Project Hub.
3. In the Project Admin screen, click the Flyout Menu button in the upper left-hand corner.
4. Select Company Admin.
5. Company Admin will open to the Clients screen, listing current Clients.
6. Click Create Client. This will open a blank Client Details screen.
7. The pieces of information required to create a client are: 
   
   
   1. Client Name (required)
   2. Client Number (required), and
   3. Client Company (required), selected from a picklist.
   4. Once created, these values cannot be changed.

7. • Client Name – the name of the client (required).
