Work Smarter with the Tasks Module

The Tasks module is the ideal place to get organized and get things done. It’s your ultimate To-Do list and it couldn’t be faster – just type and hit return. Each line becomes a “To Do” in Amicus so you will never lose track of it. But that’s just the start.

The real beauty is in what you can do with your Tasks list.

	Task Management See a list of all your tasks over a given time period so you can sort and set priorities
	Type-in-place Type-in-place for rapid creation and modification of tasks (To Do's). Simply enter a title, and select the file, and the task has been created.
	Customizable Views See a list of all your tasks over a given time period, sort it and set your priorities - add/remove fields to customize it to work just the way you need it to. Multiple filter and sort options let you work with To Do lists the way you want.
	Manage Delegated Tasks Easily manage tasks you have assigned to others and automatically send a status email inquiry to follow-up. Define custom task list profiles to include who, how and what tasks to display. Use workgroup task views to see tasks for Firm Members in your workgroup with a single click.
	Timeline View The Timeline view shows To Do's chronologically across the screen, providing you with a quick idea of the workload over a date range.

Email is Smarter

Better manage the flow of email in the refined Communications Module. New controls and preferences help you stay ahead of the game.

	Universal Inbox Saved and unsaved emails are now shown together in both the Outstanding and Today views – one place to look! So the Outlook® view is now optional
	Auto-Save Firm Member email Email from selected Firm Members can be auto-saved
	Outlook email signature Add your Outlook email signature block to new emails initiated from within Amicus
	Email Attachments Better management of email attachments, including the ability to set a preference to automatically save an underlying email when you save its attachment

Improved Contact WorkFlow

Contact Drop Zone The new QuickEdit box on contact cards provides the fastest way possible to add contact information to your People. Simply copy-and-paste or drag-and-drop text from any application into this “drop zone” and it’s added to the contact card. Imagine – you can copy a person’s email signature straight into a Contact record! Or you can just type an entire address and phone number into the drop zone – Amicus intelligently puts each element into the correct field, so you don’t have to type into all those little boxes. Amazingly fast and convenient!

Contact Basics The new Contact Basics view provides convenient access to information fields and allows you to edit them in place so you can update contact information more quickly than ever before.

MORE NEW INTELLIGENCE

	Firm Member Exchange to Outlook Firm Members can optionally be included when synchronizing contacts with Outlook or your PDA
	Improved Custom Field Editor New editor for Custom Fields with drop-down lists. Now administrators also have the ability to move data from one custom field to another
	Manage Closed Files You can now show just your Closed Files in the File Index if you choose, and filter to show Closed Files of a specific file type or special designation
	Improved Call Summary The call summary view can be expanded to record and show even more information about your phone calls

FASTER

Amicus Attorney 2008 is faster.

Visible changes have been made to improve workflows: better ways to work with fewer dialogs and clicks mean you get your work done faster. And equally important but invisible changes have been made to the underlying architecture, improving the product’s core performance.

	Quick Match for Files & People Assign files or contacts just by typing the start of their names in any blank File or Person field – Amicus fills them in, without the need for a selection dialog.
	Default File on new Events If you work for extended periods of time on a single matter, you can set a preference to default all new events to that matter.
	Auto-mapping in links – avoids lengthy steps In the mapping dialogs of the accounting link wizards and the Outlook Contact & Calendar Link wizard, clicking the new AUTO button enables you to quickly and automatically map matching items.
	Faster Workstation Performance Benchmark testing shows that on average after login the 2008 Premium Edition performs routine tasks 10 to 25% faster than version 7.
	Faster Server Performance Full “multi-threading” throughout means that server operations take better advantage of your server’s CPU and work more quickly than ever before. Multiple simultaneous operations can be performed without bottlenecks – meaning that you never have to wait for another user.
