A client record links the projects, contacts, and commercial detail for one customer, so you can answer “how is this account doing?” rather than only “how is this project doing?”.

Client records

Create clients under Clients, then link projects to them. Once linked you get rollups across every project for that account — progress, hours, and profitability together.

Letting a client see progress

Three options, from least to most access:

Public status link

A read-only page for one project. No account needed — anyone with the link can see progress.

Client portal

A client-facing view across their work, with your branding if you have white-label on.

External member

An invited person with access limited to specific projects.

Status reports

Emailed summaries drafted from real activity — see Reports.
A public status link is exactly that — public to anyone holding the URL. Prefer the portal or an external member when the work is sensitive.

Handoff

Closing out finished work with a confirmation record is covered in Client handoff.

Invoicing

With Budgets on, the client invoice report pulls unbilled time for a client over a date range so you can review it before it becomes an invoice, and mark it billed afterwards.
