Premium Edition Reporting Options

Reports allow you to gain insight by looking at cross-sections of your practice. Amicus Attorney 2008 Premium Edition features numerous reports that can be run at local workstations by individual firm members, as well also team-wide reports that can be run by any Amicus Administrator.

At the local workstation, firm members can choose from a wide range of reports including: Calendar, Communications, Files, People and Time. In all there are more than 50 predefined reports that can be run.

Amicus Administrators can run firm-wide reports including: Business Planning, Calendar, Files, People, System Administration and Time. In total there are more than 30 administrator reports available to be run.

These reports were created with Crystal Reports, but you do not need your own copy of Crystal Reports in order to run them. If you want to modify any of the shipped reports you do need Crystal Reports. The Amicus Services Team is also available to create custom reports should your firm require assistance.

Running Firm Member Reports:
