User Guide
Introduction
The Client 360 user guide provides all the information needed to get started with the Client 360 application and web portal.
Client 360TM is a totally new way of managing your Housing Trust. It is a tablet-based application that allows Neighbourhood Officers to look up tenant and property details on the move and raise and complete service forms in real-time.
Generate iForms directly from the App and then view the submitted documents in the web portal.
1. Installation & Log-in
When the application has been installed the Client 360 icon will appear on the home screen of your iPad. If you wish you can drag it into the favourites bar at the bottom.
