Clients
Overview
The Clients Data Sheet is a comprehensive view of your client data within PracticeVital. This data sheet provides detailed information about each client-clinician relationship, including appointment history, retention metrics, and key engagement indicators.
Accessing the Clients Data Sheet
The Clients Data Sheet can be accessed from the main navigation menu under Data Sheets. Depending on your role and permissions, you may see:
Practice-wide view: Complete list of all clinician-client relationships across your practice
Single clinician view: Client data for a specific clinician you have access to
Understanding the Data
Row Structure
The Clients Data Sheet displays one row per clinician-client pair. This means:
If a client has seen multiple clinicians, they will appear multiple times in the list
Each row represents the unique relationship between one clinician and one client
Column Descriptions
The data sheet includes the following columns:
Clinician: The name of the clinician associated with this client relationship.
Client: A unique identifier for the client. Click the “i” icon on the client badge to view detailed client information.
Intake: The date of the first session (intake appointment) with this clinician. This helps identify when the client-clinician relationship began.
Last Seen: The date of the most recent appointment with this clinician. This shows the last time the client had a session.
Next Appointment: The date of the next scheduled appointment with this clinician. This helps you see upcoming engagements.
Retention Status: Indicates the current retention status of the client (see more below).
Retention Total: A numeric value indicating the total number of qualifying appointments that count toward retention metrics.
Filtering Your Data
The Clients Data Sheet provides powerful filtering options to help you find specific information:

Retention Status Filter
Filter clients by their retention status to focus on specific groups:

About Retention Status
Possible values include:
Retained: Client has completed enough sessions to meet the retention threshold for your practice
Churned: Client has not returned for enough sessions to meet the churn threshold for your practice
Between: Client is neither retained nor churned. They are between retention and churn thresholds
No Intake Date: Client is excluded from calculations because no intake appointment was found
Too Recent: Client is excluded because the intake is too recent to determine retention - the date falls outside the intake recency cutoff that is calculated by multiplying your retention threshold value by the expected time between sessions value you have in Settings
Excluded (Clinician Start Date): Client is excluded because the intake occurred before the clinician’s start date
Excluded (By Service): Client is excluded because they attended an appointment with a service that has been set to exclude clients from retention in Settings > Service Mappings
Excluded (Group): Client is excluded because they have only attended group appointments
