# Rejected Clients Feature - Implementation Complete

## Summary

I've successfully updated the system to:
1. **Exclude rejected clients from the regular client list**
2. **Create a dedicated "Rejected Clients" page**
3. **Add a red "Rejected Clients" button to access it**

## Changes Made

### 1. **Updated Client List View** (`users/views.py`)
```python
# Now excludes clients with status='inactive' (rejected clients)
clients = CustomUser.objects.filter(
    role='borrower'
).exclude(
    status='inactive'
).select_related()
```

### 2. **Created Rejected Clients View** (`users/views.py`)
- New function: `rejected_clients(request)`
- Lists all clients with `status='inactive'`
- Shows rejection reason and rejection date
- Includes search functionality
- Branch filtering support
- Pagination

### 3. **Added URL Route** (`users/urls.py`)
```python
path('clients/rejected/', views.rejected_clients, name='rejected_clients'),
```

### 4. **Created Template** (`templates/users/rejected_clients.html`)
- Displays rejected clients with:
  - Client name and avatar
  - Contact information
  - Business details
  - Rejection reason
  - Rejection date
  - View action button

### 5. **Updated Client List Page** (`templates/users/client_list.html`)
- Added red "Rejected Clients" button
- Located next to "Pending Approvals" button
- Only visible to admins

## How It Works

### Client Status Flow
```
New Registration 
  ↓
pending_approval → Shows in "Pending Approvals" page
  ↓
  ├─ Approved → active → Shows in regular "Clients" list ✓
  └─ Rejected → inactive → Shows in "Rejected Clients" page ✓
```

### What Admins See

**Clients Page:**
- Yellow "Pending Approvals" button → Shows pending clients
- Red "Rejected Clients" button → Shows rejected clients
- Regular client list → Only active clients (excludes rejected)

**Rejected Clients Page Shows:**
- Client name and contact info
- Business information
- Rejection reason
- Date rejected
- View details link

## Testing

### Create Test Rejected Client
```bash
python create_test_pending_client.py
# Then go to Pending Approvals and reject it
```

### View Rejected Clients
1. Login as admin
2. Go to Clients page
3. Click red "Rejected Clients" button
4. See all rejected clients with reasons

### Verify Rejected Clients Excluded
1. Go to regular Clients list
2. Verify rejected clients are NOT shown
3. Only active and pending clients appear

## Benefits

✅ **Cleaner client list** - Only shows active clients
✅ **Better organization** - Rejected clients have their own section  
✅ **Audit trail** - Can review rejection reasons
✅ **Transparency** - See why clients were rejected
✅ **Easy management** - Separate views for different statuses
