    Voice Command Structure Primary and Secondary Words

    Voice Commands consist of a word or phrase. Phrases are generally a Primary      and Secondary word. Each command has been pre-programmed with the appropriate Time Matters keyboard or mouse movements that will perform the action.

       Voice Command Groups

  • The Primary words (NEW, OPEN, VIEW, AREA) result in easy to remember     groups of voice commands.
  • The Secondary words are the names of general or specific record types, or menu options within Time Matters.
  •                   "NEW EVENT"    – opens a new Event form .

                      "NEW MEETING" – opens Event Form and completes the code MTNG.

     

    Navigating Lists, Forms and Menu Options

    The same primary/secondary voice command structure applies to the use of  VIEW, OPEN AND AREA voice commands.

    OPEN

    The primary word OPEN combined with a list or form name, provides an easy and fast way to open any list or form for Time Matter records.

                        For example,

    "OPEN MATTER LIST" – opens up a list of matters.

                        "OPEN RELATED" – will open the Related Tab of that record.

  • Voice Commands are available to open any of the contact and matter tabs, however, a one time change is required in Time Matters to enable some of the Tab Labels. See the instruction on the following page for the steps necessary to change the default Tab Labels.
  • VIEW

    Likewise, the primary word VIEW combined with a item from the Time Matters View menu will toggle the view on or off.

                      For example,

                    "VIEW NOTIFY" – opens (or closes if already open) the Notify section.

                    "VIEW USER" – will open or close the User section of a form.

    AREA

    The primary word AREA combined with an area number (1 thru 14) will cause the cursor to jump to the first filed of the numbered area.

                    For example,

                    "AREA 2" On the Matter Form will jump to the Primary Contact ( Area 2).
