# Creating a Client

The "Create New Client" modal allows users to input essential information, such as the client's name, logo, point of contact, client notes, tags, and custom fields.&#x20;

Users can create a comprehensive profile for each client, enabling efficient data collection, organization, and management within PlexTrac.

1. **Client Logo**: To represent the client visually, drag an image or click the designated box to navigate to a picture on the computer.
2. **Client Name (required)**: Enter the client or project name that will identify this data collection throughout PlexTrac.&#x20;
3. **Point of Contact**: Enter the resource's name to contact about the data collection.
4. **Point of Contact Email**: Enter the resource's email address. If the email of a current PlexTrac user is entered, this person is added as a client user with the analyst role. If the person creating the client adds themselves as the point of contact, their default tenancy role (i.e., admin) is assigned. All roles [can be adjusted](/plextrac-documentation/product-documentation/clients/manage-client-users.md#changing-user-roles).
5. **Client Description/Details**: Enter any pertinent information to help provide users context.
6. **Tags**: Enter any tags associated with the client (new or existing). Any special characters will be removed, and any spaces will be replaced with an underscore (\_).
7. **Add Custom Field**: Enter additional fields and values needed to enhance the client's management.

<mark style="background-color:yellow;">Step 3:</mark> Click **Submit**.

## 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://docs.plextrac.com/plextrac-documentation/product-documentation/clients/creating-a-client.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.
