Main view
The Client listing screen consists of 3 sections: 1) search options, 2) results grid, and 3) client details.
- Search options - allows you to set filters prior to running the report.
- Results grid - allows you to define the column displayed.
- Client details - by selecting a client in the results grid, this section allows you to quickly view company info, projects created for the client, invoices created for the client and receipts.

Parent & child clients
You can establish a billing or reporting hierarchy of your clients based on specific needs.
For example, if you need to send invoices to two different addresses and/or have two different contacts, based on some kind of division within the client. Then using a parent & two child clients can help make this process more streamlined.
See the Parent clients [in-depth guide] for more info.
Markups
You can establish markups for labor and/or expenses in a variety of ways to then invoice your clients.
The first step is to determine where you want markups to originate from. Such as rate sheets or a flat rate from the project, for example.
For labor, see the Get labor rate from [in-depth guide] for more info.
For expenses, see the Get markup from [in-depth guide] for more info.
Client credit card processing
With the help of some third-party features, you can email invoices to your clients for them to pay online.
See the Client credit card processing [in-depth guide] for more info.
Projects
Once you have a client set up in your system, you can then start creating projects for them.
See the New project [in-depth guide] to begin.
Billing
Once you have a project created, you can then bill those projects on client invoices.
See the Billing role in Workamajig [overview] guide for the many ways to bill out of Workamajig.
Reporting
And last but not least, once you have project & billing workflows established. You can then run various reports to see how your active projects are doing. Print or email client statements for open invoices. And even run revenue & resource forecasting reports.
