The client profile represents the initial client or prospect record for an insured within Newton. Prior to entering policy information, a client profile must first be created. Clients can be created manually, through rating integration, or through download.

Before entering a new client or prospect into Newton, you should always search existing clients first to avoid creating duplicates.
