Hi, Pros!

The Customizable Client Attributes feature allows practitioners to track various attributes for their clients. This feature is designed to be flexible and adaptable to the unique needs of each practitioner. The attributes can be of different data types and are editable.

Note: Practitioners do not have the ability to create new attribute definitions. The Attribute definition list is empty by default. If your practice would like a new attribute, please reach out to your account manager or Heads Up support, and we can help you get them created.

Attribute Definitions

Attribute definitions are created by Heads Up system administrators. These definitions specify the name and data type of each attribute. The data types can be:

  • float: A floating-point number

  • string: A sequence of characters

  • date: A calendar date

  • datetime: A specific date and time

  • integer: A whole number

  • boolean: A true or false value

  • array(string): A list of strings

  • array(integer): A list of integers

  • array(float): A list of floating-point numbers

  • array(boolean): A list of boolean values

  • array(date): A list of dates

  • array(datetime): A list of date and time values


Practitioner's Role

Practitioners can add existing attribute definitions to a client's profile and edit the values of those attributes. For example, a practitioner might add the "Program Start Date" and "Program End Date" attributes to a client's profile and then update those dates as the client progresses through the program.


How to Use

Adding an Attribute:

To add an attribute to a client's profile, open the client's profile by clicking on their name in the Clients table. Scroll down a bit to the Attributes sections and click the plus + icon to the right of the Attributes section.

You will be presented with a list of available attribute definitions. Select the attribute you want to add, input the Value and then click Save.

Click the Trash Can to cancel.

Editing an Attribute:

To edit the value of an attribute, open the client's profile by clicking on their name in the Clients table. Scroll down a bit to the Attributes sections and click the Pencil icon to the right in the Attributes row:

Enter a new Value and click Save.

Requesting a New Attribute:

If you need a new attribute that is not currently available, please reach out to your account manager or Heads Up support, provide them with the name of the attribute and the data type, and we can help you get one created.


Conclusion

The Customizable Client Attributes feature provides a flexible and powerful way for practitioners to track the information that is most important to them. By allowing practitioners to choose from a variety of attribute definitions and edit the values of those attributes, this feature ensures that each practitioner can tailor their client tracking to their specific needs.
