  • Updated
  • ~ minute read

The Client Record is a workspace where you can view all Canopy information pertaining to a specific client. You can add files, tasks, notes, resolution cases, and more from here. Additionally, this is where you can edit a client's information. The options displayed on the Client Record vary depending on what licenses you purchased in Canopy. Your access to any clients depends on admin-assigned permissions.

Canopy Tip: If you can't see full emails in a Communication tab, make sure your Admin toggled on the Show Email Content permission for your role. Users still have access to emails they are participants in. If there is a shared email account within your firm, that will override the permission.

Toggling off the permission for a user causes the Communication tab to look like this:
