Clients Grid

Use the Clients grid to associate clients with projects. You associate a client record with a project record when you add it to the Clients grid. Both records reflect the association.

If you enter a client name in the Primary Client field on the General tab of the Projects hub, the client's name and information display in the Clients grid. A client record must exist in your database before you can associate it with a project record. However, you can create a new client record on the General tab. Deltek inserts the client name in that field and inserts the client name and related client information on the Clients grid.

The fields on this grid display information from the client record in the Firms hub.
