How do I manually add a charge to a client?

You can add charges directly from the offence database without uploading a document.

1. Open a client's profile and navigate to the Charges tab.
2. Click the ⋮ menu in the Charges header, then Add Manually to open the add-charge panel.
3. Type at least 2 characters into the search field to search the offence database.
4. Select the matching offence from the results list. You can queue several offences before saving.
5. Optionally assign a file number from the dropdown: choose an existing file number or create a new one.
6. Click Add Charges to save them to the client.

The charge is automatically matched to the GOAT offence database, so all penalty and eligibility details are populated immediately.

Note: Adding the same offence twice creates a second charge entry, so check the list before saving.
