This brings up the following modal with sections along the left hand side.
Only the sections with the * are mandatory.
First, fill in the basic client details. This is the only section that has mandatory fields (unless you have made any custom fields mandatory), so if you are in a rush you can hit Save to finish creating the client.

The next section is Service, which covers details like groups and the assigned adviser. These are useful to fill out as this information can then be used to pre-populate fields when using other feature of Plannr, like Factfinds or Automations.
If you are down as an Adviser in Plannr you will be automatically assigned as a client's Assigned Adviser. If you are an Administrator, you will need to add an Adviser as the Assigned Adviser and add yourself as the Assigned Administrator.
