# Add a client alert
## Overview
Client alerts are important short notes that appear next to a client’s name in two places:
1. Client profile (right panel)
2. Appointment information panel (on the calendar)
Alerts are instantly visible, helping staff see important information when dealing with certain patients.
Examples
* Safety considerations: e.g., known risks or de-escalation guidance.
* Accessibility or support needs: e.g., mobility support, interpreter required.
* Quick reminders: e.g., confirm referral details, follow up on a form, return a left item.
