What this is

The Client Workspace at /app/workspace is the current home for client management. The old /app/clients address redirects here.

What you see on screen

The workspace shows:

  • A searchable client list
  • Status and deadline filters
  • Each client’s current journey status and next action
  • The next quarterly deadline where one is available
  • HMRC feedback that needs attention
  • HMRC invitations and Add Client actions

Client workspace

How to manage your clients

  1. Use Search clients to find a client by name.
  2. Use the Status or Deadline filters to focus the list.
  3. Select a row or card to open /app/workspace/:clientId.
  4. Use the client page to review details, manage authorisation and open the quarterly filing pages in that client’s context.

The next-action button on a client row may ask you to send an invitation, check authorisation, refresh HMRC data, review MTD status or upload data. The action reflects that client’s current state.

Things to know

  • Adding a client is separate from receiving HMRC authorisation.
  • A pending client has an invitation that has not yet been approved through Government Gateway.
  • Selecting a client sets the active taxpayer context used by Income Sources, Quarterly Statuses, Upload Quarterly Data and Past Submissions.
  • Removing a client from aligned.tax does not by itself revoke the HMRC relationship.
