Official Release Notes

• Many bug fixes
• Automatic Bookkeeper
– auto-apply payments from funds on billing date
– backup funding options
– maintain fund minimum balances
• Customizable quick-fill abbreviation database (type “pcw”, fills in “phone call with” etc)
• Database integrity improvements

• Address Book import now fully works again
• Monthly filter for bills has been added to the Batch Billing Center
• Inactive Clients now appear red in lists they show up in

It’s right here! Check out some screenshots below of just a couple of the many new options. We are just a touch behind schedule, originally hoped to get the release out early this morning, but now it’s looking more like late tonight/early tomorrow at the latest. However, this update is worth it, trust me.

This update is going to be really great. The key holdup right now is the finalizing of our newest feature, the Automatic Bookkeeper. This feature allows you to set program-wide or client-specific tax and billing rules:

• full control over what is taxed and what isn’t
• automatic deduction of balances owed from trust or escrow accounts
• ability to setup backup fund accounts
• ability to maintain a minimum balance in a trust or escrow account

We’re hoping to have a final release candidate available sometime mid-week.

TimeNet Law 1.8.5 is going to become TimeNet Law 1.9, and it will be available early next week. Here’s what to expect:

• bugs with importing from address book fixed
• fully customizable quick-fill abbreviation system (for example, type pcw, instantly replaces with “phone call with”)
• improved bill layout
• generating bills on specific month entries will be added to the batch billing center
• inactive clients will be shown and separated in the batch billing center
• batch billing center will show client’s names
• spell checking built-in
• more control over remember additional charges
• ability to finalize a case and prevent accidental changes
• generate fully customizable monthly reports, detailing costs, hourly tasks, funds, and much more
• wonderful keyboard shortcuts to speed things up: apple+n to quickly create a new task in a case window, apple+d to quickly insert today’s date and more
• improved reliability of client database, less possibility for error, clients can have the same or similar abbreviations with no conflicts
• previous payments on bills now show the source of the payment (cash, check, payment from escrow, etc)

Plus lots of other goodies. Want something you don’t see? Well then for goodness sake, let us know!
