Payments is a List window that displays payment transactions and allows you to easily see information about them. You can filter the List to see only the information you want, such as only payments on certain dates or only credit card payments. You can double-click a payment to see additional information, or you can perform actions on one or more payments using the Quick Clicks pane on the right.

Each row in the list area represents a payment transaction. Double-click a row in the list to open the associated payment in the Payment Information window. Click the Client ID hyperlink in the Client ID column to open the associated matter in the Tabs3 Billing Matter Manager.

Client ID
Client Name
Date

Note: The Client Name column is a virtual field and cannot be used for sorting.
Additionally, a Default Column Layout is included, which displays all payment information. Specific columns can be included in other column layouts.
QuickView tabs can optionally be displayed in the list.
The sort order of the records shown in the list can be changed by clicking a column heading. An ascending 
sort indicator will be shown in the column heading indicating the sort order. Click the same column heading again to reverse the sort order and change the sort indicator to a descending 
sort indicator. You can use Incremental Searchon the sorted column to locate information. If a field's contents are not fully shown, you can hover over the field to display a tooltip with the extended contents. PressingF5 can be used to Refresh the list of payments.
