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. |
Contacts
 |
Contact Merge
You might find from time to time that more
than one contact record has been created
for the same person. Team members can now
combine information from two contact records
into one directly from their own contact
index, rather than having to rely on the
team administrator. |
 |
Business
Cards
Quickly and easily produce an addressed
envelope or cover letter from a contact's
business card.
New
labels indicate at a glance which of their
phone, address, and other details are
currently displayed on a contact's business
card.
|
Improved
Conflict Check
With
the new and improved Conflict Check you can
rest assured that you are performing a thorough
conflict check that can be saved or printed
in an easy to read report.
 |
Multiple
Name Check
Save time by performing a conflict check
for multiple names in a single search session.
|
 |
Advanced
Search
A new advanced setting offers a broader
range of searchable fields including custom
contact and file text fields, contact notes,
note records, time entry descriptions, event
title and notes, communications to/from,
and many more. |
 |
Results
Report
Conflict check results are output in an
easy to read report including an outline
of the criteria searched, a comments column,
and a separate column indicating the field
in which the match was found.
Print
the report or optionally save the results
(.txt or .doc) and attach it to an Amicus
File. Printouts include the searched names(s)
and the user who ran the report in addition
to comprehensive information about any
matches.
|
Client
Matter Intake Form
Now
firms can ensure that all pertinent file information
is captured at the time a file is opened. When
starting a new file, the optional Client Matter
Intake Form walks you through a predetermined
list based on file type. Minimize errors, save
time and ensure all necessary information is
captured at the time a file is opened.
 |
Customized
Intake Forms
Create
personalized templates consisting of multiple
screens with whichever fields your firm
deems important when creating a new file.
With the file intake form the administrator
can choose to have specific information
entered depending on the specified file
type.
A
real estate case, for instance, would
require totally different information
than a personal injury case.
|
 |
Required
Fields
Mark certain fields as required so users
can't continue with the file intake process
without inputting the specified information. |
 |
Conflict
Check
Perform
a conflict check against new clients.
|
 |
Precedents
Ensure that events relative to file type
are properly scheduled from the outset
by applying a precedent.
|
 |
Document

as a standard
letter to a client requesting a retainer,
a file opening summary to use as part
of its new file administration or a file
label.
|

Save
time by sending an email addressed to
a client.

Tasks Module
The
Tasks module gives you a new centralized place
to get organized and get things done. It couldn't
be easier to make a list of what you have to
do - just type and hit return. Once you do,
each task is a to do record in Amicus, and you
will never lose track of it. Jot
down new tasks as you think of them and refine
the details later. Managing the task list for
yourself and your team has never been easier.
 |
Manage
Tasks (To Do's)
See
all of your to do’s across any range of
time or files in one easy to manage list.
Even those you have assigned to other
members of your team. Sort them. Change
priorities or dates. Reassign them. Check
their status. Manage delegated tasks.
All in one place.
|
 |
Type-in-Place
Type-in-place for rapid creation and modification
of tasks (to do's). In a list row, simply
enter a title, select the file and the
task has been created.
|
 |
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. |
Documents
 |
Windows Explorer Folder View on Files
Documents
on files can be dynamically synchronized
with Windows Explorer - just associate
a folder (on your hard drive or your network)
with a matter, and all documents placed
in that folder will automatically appear
in Amicus! Within this view you can take
full advantage of Windows Explorer functionality
including using shortcut menu commands.
|
Communications
 |
Preview
Pane
Optionally preview phone calls, phone messages
and emails using the new communications
preview pane. This resizable view allows
for a quick display of record details including
message type, sender/recipient information,
date and time, priority level, associated
file, whether there are any attachments
and message content, all in the bottom half
of your screen. |
 |
Email Signature
Automatically include an email signature
in new emails that you send directly from
Amicus Attorney. Define your own Amicus
email signature block when initiating new
emails from within Amicus. |
Events
 |
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. Users who are granted access
to other's appointments can open and edit
event details. |
|
Link Email and Document to Events
Associate a saved email and document to
an event in your Amicus calendar for quick
and easy reference. |

most pressing Files or Contacts. You can

new record items, tools and utilities,
embedded browsers, etc. Mix several data
types or
create multiple Dashboards to support
the different aspects of your practice.
|
 |

Your View

how you want it. Pick how many sections

to reflect your new priorities.
