Firm Member Availability
Trying to contact, locate or schedule something
for another firm member and don't have the time
to track them down? You can now check on the
current availability of all firm members from
anywhere in Amicus Attorney. This feature is
especially useful for receptionists, assistants
and administrators. It is also helpful for firms
who delegate work amongst paralegals, articling
students, junior associates and for teams who
share resources.

Progressive Priority Levels
Better manage your tasks by setting to do's
to have their priority levels automatically
increase as items near their deadline. If
the to do doesn't have a deadline, then
the task's priority level will change based
on the number of days it has remained on
your list. |
 |
Show
Adjournments
Appointments get postponed all the time.
Now, when an appointment gets adjourned,
you can track and view its history including
original date, rescheduled date and reasons
for adjournment from your calendar and on
the file brad. An instance remains visible
on your calendar on the original appointment
date in a disabled state with the adjourned
date appended to its title. Subsequent adjournments
of the same appointment behave in the same
manner. |
 |
Appointment Details
Grant selected individuals access to your
appointment details from the calendar instead
of just seeing your status as unavailable
regardless of whether they are assigned
to the file. And don't worry, restricted
appointments are still restricted. Users
who are granted access to other's appointments
can open and edit event details. |
 |
Link Email to Events
In addition to linking documents to an event,
you can associate saved emails to an event
in your Amicus calendar for quick and easy
reference. |

People
 |
Business
Cards

envelope or cover letter from a contact's

card. You can also cut and paste selected
content, the currently displayed address
and the card image from a contact's business
card.
|
 |
Group
Assignment Utility
Save time by making mass changes to contacts
and firm groups. Simply select the desired

can also manage firm member groups from
the user management view. |
 |
Filter
Contacts by Multiple Groups
Optionally filter contacts by multiple groups.
Choose to see contacts that are in every
group selected or contacts that are in any
one or more of the selected groups. |

Improved Client Matter Intake Form

information is captured at the time an Amicus
file is opened, you can now customize your firm's
Intake Forms to prompt users to perform specific
actions.

Files
 |
Custom
Pages/Records on Multiple File Types

matter lifecycle management of Amicus Files.
Now you can switch the file type of an individual
file and maintain custom field data. |

Other
 |
Automatically Open Another Firm Member's
Office
Set
your preferences to automatically open
another firm member's office when you
login. This feature is useful if, for
example, you are a lawyer's assistant
and usually work in their Office.
|
 |
Phone Auto Dialer Setting
Easily
customize your analog phone modem settings
directly from your communications preferences.
The AutoDialer feature automatically dials
a displayed phone number when you click
the phone icon in Phone Call Details or
on a person's Business Card.
|
 |
Dynamic Group Assignment
Firm
group assignments are constantly changing.
Now you can assign files, events and contacts
to firm groups that are dynamic to their
current membership. For example, a file
to which the Real Estate firm group is
assigned will be accessible by the current
members of that group. If a firm member
is later added to the group, they will
gain access. If a firm member is later
removed from the group, they will lose
access. And don't worry about the past
- the list of firm members in a group
assigned to a past appointment reflects
the group's membership as of the date
of that event.

Performance
Enhancements
in Sticky message processing, list displays
and dialog rendering result in overall performance
improvements.
 |
Enhanced Document Assembly
Performing document and email merge is now
more efficient than ever. The new template-specific
output setting ensures that only the information
required by the selected template will be
used as the data source for the merge. |
