## Purpose Of Clients

*"The recipient of direct services who requires a personalized treatment plan in order to improve their quality of life." (Emily Andreola, BCBA)*

Clients are the cornerstone of Compassly and its systems. Everything is geared around maintaining their records, monitoring their development, assigning goals, setting up their appointments, and ultimately improving their lives. By evaluating, diagnosing, and cateogrizing a Client's seemingly chaotic behaviors into concrete facts and goals, Compassly provides those who don't know where to start a path towards improvement and visible markers for progress. As such, it is crucial to maintain a Client's records as accurately and succinctly as possible.

## What This Section Covers

This material covers the management of Client profiles. These profiles can be viewed, created, edited, activated/deactivated, or imported in bulk, depending on your role and the actions available in your workspace.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://compassly.gitbook.io/compassly-docs/core-modules/clients.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
