Timeslips Product Manager will travel to address groups of 25 people
or more. Please let me know if you would like us to look
into putting on such an event here in the Valley.
For
more information or to indicate interest, please contact Allen at

Tips
& Tricks
|
Recent
support calls remind me of the importance of backing up your priceless
billing and case management data. If you have not already done so,
please download our document on Timeslips backup recommendations mentioned
in our Quick Links section. Both Timeslips and Time Matters offer to
backup the database when exiting the program by default which makes it easy
to implement this solution. We can always reinstall your software,
it's your data that really counts!
Timeslips
reporting is really flexible and can be customized as necessary.
There are a wealth of choices in filtering, sorting and applying
various options to your firm's management reports. We can
setup new tabs with specific report definitions saved for certain
users, for example.
Please
forward your questions on Timeslips and Time Matters to Allen via
email and he will answer them in a future edition of the newsletter.
