TurboLaw® Time and Billing uses a Navigation Bar located on the left-hand side of the window to switch between different sections of the program. Using this bar, you can quickly switch between the main screens of TurboLaw® Time and Billing.
Each item on the navigation bar works like a "link" in your web browser - it only takes one click to activate.
Each section of the navigation bar can be "collapsed," so that its items are not visible. This can be handy if you don't use a certain section very much and want to free some space on your screen. Simply click the "collapse" button (which looks like an upward pointing arrow, e.g., ^) to collapse the section. To restore a section, click the collapse button again (it will look like a downward pointing arrow).
If the navigation bar is too narrow to read, you can use your mouse to resize the navigation bar. Simply grab its right edge with your mouse pointer (click and hold down the left mouse button) and drag it left or right.
Pictured below is the main portion of the navigation bar. This section is always visible, no matter what screen you are looking at. It contains all of the basic navigation links for TurboLaw® Time and Billing.
While not strictly part of the navigation bar itself, the Navigation Toolbar contains two helpful buttons for navigating TurboLaw® Time and Billing.
The Back button allows you to go back to the previous screen. It functions very much like the "back" button in most web browsers. If you need to go back to a previous screen, this button is always available.
Next to the back button is the Home button. Clicking this button will immediately return you to the Home screen of TurboLaw® Time and Billing.
The main navigation bar section contains a number of navigation links, each of which will either show a new screen to the right, or open a new window (depending on the function).
This link functions just like the home button. Clicking this link will immediately return you to the Home screen of TurboLaw® Time and Billing.
Clicking this link will display the list of clients in the main window, as well as the client-specific secondary navigation bar.
Clicking this link will display the list of bills in the main window, as well as the bill-specific secondary navigation bar.
Clicking this link will display the list of staff members in the main window, as well as the staff-specific secondary navigation bar.
The Graphs link (formerly called "Reports") will open the graphs window. From here you can select the type of graph (or chart) you wish to view or print.
The Reports link will open the reports window. From here you can select the type of report you wish to view or print.
Clicking this link will open the Statements window.
Clicking this link will open a stopwatch. You can click this link again to open additional stopwatches, if needed.
The secondary navigation bars appear based upon what is displayed in the main list of TurboLaw® Time and Billing.
The client-specific navigation bars allow you to add a new client, edit the selected client, or delete the selected client(s), as well as change which clients are displayed (either Active, Inactive, or All Clients).
The Other Tasks bar is collapsed by default; to expand it, simply click the downward-pointing arrow. This will display additional links that allow you to perform additional tasks for the selected client.
The bill-specific navigation bars allow you to create a new bill, edit the selected bill, or delete the selected bill(s), as well as change which bills are displayed and how they are grouped together.
The staff-specific navigation bar allows you to add a new staff member, edit the selected staff member, or delete the selected staff member(s), as well as view the work (and expenses) logged by the selected staff member (or all staff members, if nothing is selected).
