Reading Other Documentation
Much of the platform documentation is written using standard AtlasOS terminology (the accounting vertical). When reading those pages:
- Where you see Client, think Patient
- Where you see Engagement, think Script / Sale
- Where you see Compliance Calendar, think Regulatory Deadlines
- Where you see Service, think Product
The underlying features are identical — only the labels differ.
tip
If you switch a practice from one vertical to another, the terminology updates automatically. No data is lost — only the display labels change.
