How to edit or delete a client
Update a client's contact details, add internal notes only your team sees, or remove a client record.
Contact details, notes and the client record itself are all managed from the client's own page, there's no separate edit screen.
Edit contact details
- Go to Clients and open the client.
- Under Contact details, edit any field directly, name, email, phone, or
switch between
IndividualandBusiness. - Select Address to expand the address fields if you need them.
- Click away from a field to save it. There's no separate save button.
Note
Switching a business client back to Individual clears their Contact person field, since it no longer applies.
Add internal notes
The Internal notes box on the client's page is visible only to your team, never to the customer, on any document or email. Type your note and click away to save it.
Delete a client
- Open the client.
- Select
⋮besideNew job, thenDelete client. On your phone, tap⋮and choose it from the menu instead. - Confirm in the dialog. It reads "The client profile will be removed. All jobs, quotes, and invoices will remain on record."
If the client has an active recurring job, Trame stops you first with a
second dialog, naming how many active recurring jobs exist and warning that
deleting will end them and stop future invoices from being generated. Select
Delete anyway to proceed, or Cancel to keep the client and its schedule
running.
Heads up
Deleting a client removes their contact record. There's no undo from within Trame, so check you have what you need from Contact details first if you might want it again.
Frequently asked
If I delete a client, do their old invoices disappear too?
No. The confirmation dialog states that jobs, quotes and invoices already created stay on record, only the client's contact profile is removed.
Can I merge two client records instead of deleting one?
No, there's no merge tool. Delete the duplicate manually once you've moved across anything you need.
What happens to a recurring job if I delete its client?
You're stopped before it happens: Trame shows a warning naming the active
recurring job and requires Delete anyway to confirm you want to end it
along with the client.
