You can customize most default and custom client profile fields from the Client Profile Fields page. For steps, see Manage and customize client profile fields. Each field has the following settings:

Setting

Description

Status

Set the field to ON or OFF. When a field is set to OFF, it's hidden from clients and staff. The information clients already entered is kept.

Image, First name, Last name, and Email/Username are always on.

Applies to

Choose who the field is for:

  • All profiles – The field appears on every client profile.
    ​

  • Child profiles – The field only appears on profiles linked as a child or care receiver.
    ​

  • Parent profiles – The field only appears on profiles linked as a parent or guardian.

All three options are always available, even if your business doesn't use relationships. If you remove relationship types later, the field keeps its setting but doesn't match anyone.

Visible to

Choose who can see the field:

  • Clients and staff – Clients can see and fill in the field.

  • Staff only – The field never appears to clients.

If you select Staff only, only When staff add or edit a profile is available under Where should we ask for it?, and Don't ask can't be selected.

Where should we ask for it?

Choose when clients and staff are asked for the field. For each entry point, select one of the following options:

  • Don't ask – The field isn't shown.

  • Optional – The field is shown, and it can be left blank.

  • Required – The field must be filled in before the person can continue.

The entry points are:

  • When staff add or edit a profile – The field appears on the form staff use to add or edit a client profile. Don't ask isn't available.
    ​

  • When a client edits their profile – The field appears when a client updates their own profile in the Client Portal or the Achieve Client App. Don't ask isn't available.
    ​

  • When a client signs up – The field appears when someone creates a new account using the Direct Sign-Up URL.
    ​

  • When a client adds a relationship – The field appears when a client adds a family member to their account, either directly or while booking.
    ​

  • When a client books a service – The field appears during the online booking process.
    ​

  • When a client makes a purchase – The field appears during the online purchase process.
    ​

  • When a guest books or buys – The field appears when someone books or buys as a guest. This is separate from the other entry points, so you can ask guests for information you don't ask registered clients for. Your business policies still control whether guests can book. This entry point doesn't apply when a client adds a guest to their own booking. That guest is always asked for a first name, last name, and email address.

If Visible to is set to Staff only, only When staff add or edit a profile is available, and Don't ask can't be selected.

Note: Some fields are required to use certain features. For example, date of birth is required to book services with age restrictions.
