If you don't have client details for previous activities, create a single activity with the total number of hours for each activity type. Some activities require a client; in these instances, create a generic client to represent the desired client type. You can use the following client codes for generic clients:

Some reports provide the total number of different clients in demographic reports. If you enter generic client types, they are counted as one client type. If you need detailed client data in demographic reports, review Backlogging Hours through Clients below.

You can enter previous activities in the Clients section. Review Clients for more information. A few recommendations when backlogging hours through clients:

• If you have clients who participated in groups and you want the clients to be included in demographic reports, you must add the client as an individual first, then create a group which you add them to.
• Create a separate activity for each client and their activity type.

Example of backlogging hours for clients by activity type. For example, ICLT01 are the hours for the first individual client and ICLT02 are the hours for the second individual client.
