Create and link a new engagement to PPC's SMART Practice Aids

If you're licensed and have installed PPC's SMART Practice Aids with the Fieldwork module, you can:
  • Link engagement binders in
    Workpapers CS
    to SMART Practice Aid's engagements, so you can transfer, open, and edit SMART documents within the Workpapers Dashboard.
  • Roll forward SMART workpapers. Create placeholder workpapers during the rollforward process, then replace by SMART workpapers when the rollforward process is complete.
  • Set up a direct link to a new engagement from the application for dynamic 2-way integration. Alternatively, without the Fieldwork module installed, you can add PPC Practice Aids as external workpapers.
