In last week's tutorial, I outlined the database structure that would support an hourly consulting agency. We mapped the steps to creating the Team, linking that with Consultations and Clients. We also outlined the steps to adding a table of Invoices so that our team members can get accurately paid for their efforts.

But of course, the proper database structure is only the first part of this...

One of the most common questions we get in our coaching program has to do with an advanced prefilled form feature. This is most often requested by businesses who want to send prefilled forms to their clients, but they want to be able to HIDE some of the prefilled data.
