Chapter Overview Congratulations on your purchase of the Orion Law Management System. Orion is written in the Delphi® programming language and combines the numerical accuracy usually associated with dedicated spreadsheet programs with the raw organizational power and data handling capability of a true relational database system. Orion is not merely a single program, but an entire software system composed of several program modules. Under the overall "umbrella" of the System File, Orion controls and integrates from one to four major application modules, each of which automates a major accounting function. These are Billing and Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Payroll, and General Ledger. Organization of the Orion Guides The Orion documentation suite is organized into separate Reference Guides. In addition to this guide, there is also a guide for each program module you have purchased. Each guide describes all the principles and procedures applicable to the program module or group of program modules with which it is associated. This File Maintenance guide contains an overview of system-wide operation and step-by-step instructions on setting up the overhead files necessary to run Orion Law Management System. This section of the guide describes the global procedures and basic concepts common to all Orion installations. Special Text Throughout the guides, we use certain special characters and typefaces to indicate various types of data. These are summarized in the table below: Convention Description Enter Boldface terms indicate the names of individual keys to be pressed or buttons to be clicked.
