What it can break and how to undo

Changing a shared client record can redirect reports for other sites assigned to that client on a multisite network. Review the contact list before saving. To stop using the record on this site, use Take this client off file. Removing it from the network also removes its contacts and notes.

Final Outcome

The card badge shows the client’s name. When Send it to is empty on the report card, its note names the client contacts that will receive the report.
