# Client Retention

In order to find how many clients are returning to the same provider or different providers you can run a Client Retention report.

Navigate to Reports and click on the report named Client Retention.

Use the filters to choose the date range you are looking for as well as how far in the future you want to find if a client is returning.

For example choosing a return by date of December 31st 2020 and a date range of January 1st 2020 - November 1st 2020 would give you a report showing the number of clients that had appointments between January 1, 2020 - November 1, 2020 and are going to return to the business by December 31, 2020.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.rosysalonsoftware.com/reports/client-retention.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
