Portlets overview

You can populate the dashboards in Practice CS with a variety of portlets, which give a snapshot of various relevant information for your firm, clients, and staff. You can choose which portlets should appear on your dashboards using the
Select Portlets
 window, and arrange the layout of the portlets you choose to display.
Portlets may display summaries of data pulled from Practice CS, reports, time entry information, client information, your email and calendar, staff availability, FileCabinet CS documents, and more. Some of these portlets also serve as links to data, reports, or other information.
