Client Reports
Create client-facing reports that summarize work completed, project status, delivery outcomes, and next steps.
This page explains how Client Reports works inside FlowCRM AI, when to use it, how teams should operate it, and what administrators should check before enabling it for real workspaces or paid plans.
Main Capabilities
- Build reports for one client, project, campaign, or reporting period.
- Include tasks, approvals, deliverables, activity, metrics, notes, and recommendations.
- Prepare reports for portal sharing, export, or delivery package attachment.
When to Use This Feature
- Use it when onboarding a new client or organization.
- Use it when multiple projects, stakeholders, reports, or files belong to the same customer.
- Use it when account managers need one place to review client activity and portal status.
Practical Examples
- A monthly client report summarizes completed tasks, open approvals, delivered assets, performance notes, and next steps.
- An AI report draft can be generated first, then edited by the account manager before sharing with the client.
- A leadership report can compare delivery volume, overdue work, and client activity across workspaces.
Recommended Workflow
- Create or select the workspace that owns the client relationship.
- Add the client profile with organization, contact, portal, and account details.
- Connect the client to projects, reports, files, approvals, and activity records.
- Invite the correct internal team members and assign access carefully.
- Review the client timeline regularly so account managers can follow up on open work.
Important Fields and Records
- Client name, organization, owner, contact details, portal status, and workspace relationship.
- Related projects, reports, approvals, files, notes, and activity timeline.
- Access settings that control what the client can view or manage.
Best Practices
- Keep names and descriptions clear enough for another team member to understand without extra context.
- Attach records to the correct workspace, client, and project so reports and permissions stay accurate.
- Use statuses consistently; avoid using notes or comments as a replacement for workflow status.
- Review client-facing content before sharing it through a portal, report, approval, or delivery flow.
- Clear application cache after module, permission, route, or pricing changes.
Plan Access and Permissions
Use this feature with the correct workspace, role permissions, plan limits, and installed modules. Some functionality can be enabled by plan, sold as an addon, or hidden when the related module is not installed. Administrators should review plan permissions before making the feature visible to customers.
- Confirm the current user role can view, create, update, and delete related records.
- Confirm the workspace plan includes the required feature key or addon permission.
- Confirm related buttons, menus, and pricing rows are hidden when the module is not installed.
- Confirm customer-facing records only expose the intended workspace, client, or project data.
Troubleshooting
The page or button does not appear
Confirm the related module is installed, routes are loaded, and the current plan includes the required permission. Also clear route, config, and view cache after module changes.
The record saves but does not show in reports
Confirm it is attached to the correct workspace, client, project, status, and date range used by the report.
A client or team member cannot access the item
Review role permissions, workspace membership, portal settings, and plan limits. Access is usually blocked by scope, role, or missing addon permission.
Old information is still visible
Clear application cache and refresh the browser. If the page is public-facing, confirm the public documentation or portal cache has been refreshed.
FAQ
Can this feature be sold as part of a paid plan?
Yes, if the related permission or addon key is connected to plans. Review your license type before selling customer access.
Can customers see this data?
Only when portal routes, workspace permissions, and visibility settings allow it. Internal records should remain hidden from client users.
What happens if the related addon is removed?
Menus, buttons, pricing fields, and routes should be hidden when the module is not installed. Keep a database backup before removing addon tables.
