Power view are arguably one of the most customizable and powerful features in the Time Matters(TM)(c) practice management suite. Unfortunately, more often then not they are one of the least utilized features of the program. Power views are essentially HTML markup, the same thing you see when looking at web browser, like this one. To see this simply right click on any power view and select view source. The power views resides in a HTML browser built in to the program that complements any selected record for a view that contains a list. Because power views require a background knowledge of HTML and other programming languages they are rarely utilized to their full potential.

How do you Set up Power Views ?

To create meaningful Power views requires at the very least an understanding of HTML (hyper text markup language). To get the most out of Power View functionality you really need to have a understanding of java scripting, Vb, or C# browser programming. This will allow the end user to quickly view or change data without even opening the matters record. At the extreme you can embed a custom browser based program into Time Matters to provide custom functionality to your practice matters.
