Adding Clients

How to add clients through the Giv Dashboard.

Updated yesterday

Before adding clients, make sure your payers and billing codes are already set up in Payer Management and Code Management.

There are two ways to add clients: one-by-one or in bulk.


Option 1: add a single client

  1. Click Clients in the left menu

  2. Click Create Client

  3. Fill in the required fields:

    • First Name

    • Last Name

    • PID (Payer ID): if no other ID is available, the Medicaid ID is often added

  4. Click Save

This is ideal for small agencies or when adding one or two new individuals.


Option 2: upload clients in bulk (CSV)

  1. Click Clients in the left menu

  2. Click Upload Clients

  3. Download the CSV Template

    • The template includes these columns: First Name, Last Name, and PID

  4. Open any spreadsheet program (e.g., Google Sheets, Excel, Numbers) and import the CSV template

  5. Fill out the spreadsheet with your client details.

  6. Export or save the file as a .csv format

Once the .csv file is finished:

  1. Return to the Clients page and select Upload Clients

  2. Click Choose File and select your completed .csv file

  3. Click Open

Once successful, all clients will appear in the client list with their names and PIDs.

Important: Make sure every PID in your .csv file is unique. If you try to reuse a PID already in the system, the upload will fail for that row.
