These instructions apply to RTG Bills Online, the online version of RTG Bills.

Client Cover Pages summarize and total the bills for each client. A Supervisor can edit the cover page format:

Supervisor Menu > Sections > Edit Client Cover Page Format

On the Edit the Client Cover Page Format page, click the Edit Sections button. On the Edit Sections for Client Cover Pages page, click the Amounts tab. We will assume that you are using the choice, Show amounts due. With this choice, the Client Totals section of the cover page will show the current charges and the total amount due.

However, the Client Totals section will not include the total previous balance for all of the matters. The purpose of these instructions is to add the total previous balance to the Client Totals section of the cover page.
