Portlets overview

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

This checkbox is available only on the parent client’s dashboard when they have a subsidiary client set up (Setup > Clients > Billing and A/R tab). Your firm may have clients that are responsible for billing of services provided to other, related clients. In Digita Practice Advanced, this collection of related clients is referred to as a
    client family
    . The client that you bill for services is the
    parent client
    , and a related client that bills to the parent client is a
    subsidiary client
    .
