Benefits
Rely on Manage My Day to keep you current.
Offering an expanded day-at-a-glance desktop view, Manage My Day includes a list of recently accessed files and your day's calendar and to-do's. You may click on any listed item to view the update window for that item, use the calendar to view another day's calendar and to-do items, or open a file directly from the recently accessed file list.
A powerful feature of Manage My Day is the automatic
notification system, which is called Heads Up. Legal Files allows
repeated notification of due dates or tasks through Heads Up.
Heads Up messaging automatically notifies users of eight different
kinds of items on one screen so important information yet to be
resolved is quickly brought to their attention.
Customize easily.
You can tailor windows or menus for different offices and locations
or different types of matters. Because you determine the look
and the language that are meaningful to your office, your custom
windows contain the exact information you want. And, it's easy.
Designed for non-technical people, no programming ability is required.
Monitor expenses and budgets.
Whether you need to track and report your time and expenses or someone else's, Legal Files can do it. Want to know from a budgetary standpoint where you're at? Legal Files tells you.
E-billing.
Legal Files offers reporting and tracking capabilities
to manage outside counsel activities. This includes web access,
case level budgeting, and expense tracking with electronic invoice
acceptance in the Legal Electronic Data Exchange (LEDES) format.
Legal Files has the ability to track in detail all expenses regarding
a matter and is able to categorize the expenses by date amount,
type, outside counsel and business group (internal practice group).
Legal Files also offers a budgeting feature that enables you to
track, at any given time, expenses to date on a matter versus
the budgeted amount.
Legal Files contains the ability to route invoices/expenses
in Legal Files to various people within the organization for their
approval. The posting/status of an invoice or expense item allows
a manager to flag/approve an invoice to be paid. The Legal Files
routing component allows users to be immediately notified when
a person has sent them an invoice/expense item for their review.
Assemble and manage all your documents.
Eliminate the need to retype the same documents. Create a template once, then use it again and again in different matters. Or automatically generate a new document, merging the template and any data fields you choose. Conveniently stored and cataloged in the matter they reference, documents are easy to retrieve. Search by document name, document number or document type. Legal Files also offers full text searching. With our document management features, you have -- at your fingertips -- every document anyone has ever created in or copied into your legal case management software.
Monitor outside resources.
Legal Files software also makes it easy to track the activity of your outside counsel. Be copied on every document your outside counsel creates. Once scanned, the document can be attached to your matter/file in Legal Files.
Legal Files Web.
Legal Files Web, the web/browser based version of Legal Files,
opens to a specific user's home page containing user-specific
calendars, tasks, events, recently accessed files and Heads Up,
Legal Files' notification system. You can customize the different
areas of Legal Files Web including "Manage My Day,"
"Manage My Files" and "Manage Name Cards."
Web users have access to the full functionality of calendars,
documents, e-mail, notes, mail logs, phone logs, time slips and
to-do's.
In addition to matter management capabilities,
Legal Files Web offers efficient and secure access for remote
users, functions on multiple platforms and provides customization
capabilities. Providing anytime/anywhere access to your Legal
Files data, Legal Files Web also reduces the need for
expensive IT resources since it is easy to deploy, maintain and
upgrade.
One of the application's most notable features
is the integration with Microsoft Office®. E-mail, contacts,
appointments, documents, spreadsheets and presentations can be
saved to a case/matter in Legal Files Web directly from the MS
Office application. The integration utilizes HTTP and XML technology
that provides a much faster and more secure data transmission
to the server over traditional FTP methods. Additionally, customers
do not have to integrate directly with their Microsoft® Exchange
Server, eliminating security and performance concerns.
Manage outside dockets or court calls.
Want to know certain dates or arrange your schedule to attend court? You can view calendar items for each matter. All features -- Intranet and Internet e-mail, mail logs, phone logs, calendars and to-do's -- interact to automatically create a diary of events for each matter, providing single-point access to the information you need.
Customize Legal Files for each department, each office, each location.
Do your data needs change? Create your own fields. Create your own menus. Create your own windows. No programming ability required. Using just one program (won't your IT department love that?), you can provide different functionality for each of your departments. Plus, every field you create -- you can search, you can query, you can import into documents.
Manage that e-mail mess!
Do you need to find important e-mail? Link e-mail to a case? Share your e-mail with others? With Legal Files, you can easily manage all your e-mail, linking important client-related messages to your case or file.
Legal Files offers extensive e-mail integration
(including Outlook, Groupwise, Notes and others) and intelligent
profiling, so you can save e-mail (and all those attachments!)
to a client's case, creating one place where all case-related
communication is stored. One place for everything ... that's Legal
Files.
