	The tutorials section has been designed to help your learn how centraltime™ works - by example.
	By following the Tutorials, you are taken step-by step through creating a database for Acme Corporation, an unusual company that is a mixture of a Software development, Architectural, Engineering and Consultancy company. Acme have employees in 3 Offices, they have a number of clients and a variety of jobs, some of which are billed on a time & materials basis, some are fixed fee and some a mixture.
	In the following lessons we will:

Create a database and name it
Create a log-in Name and password for you and define your security rights
Set-up the 3 offices
Set up Acme's customers
Enter the employees in the appropriate Offices
Define the Charge Rates we will use to charge Acme's customers
Design and configure user definable analysis fields
Set up Acme's jobs
Enter timesheets
Enter Disbursements
Generate some reports
Define Acme's Invoice Format
Invoice some customers

Please note that not all of the features of centraltime™ are covered in the Tutorials section, although if you take the time to work through the lessons and build the database, you will learn enough to begin building your own database.

Once you have worked through the Tutorials, work through the Overview section. Even if you have already read through these sections, working through them again will help reinforce what you learn through the lessons.

So, be patient, work through the Tutorials and avoid the temptation to enter your own data. If you like, you can print off all of the tutorials, grab a coffee and start stepping through the lessons!
