Improved Workflow
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.
 |

all of your to do’s across any range of

All in one place.

for multiple names in a single search session.
|
 |

title and notes, communications to/from,
and many more. |

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.
|
Communications
 |
Email Integration
Send, receive, forward, or reply to emails
from within Amicus. You can also save and
associate email with files and contacts
on a record-by-record basis. Optionally
set your preferences to automatically save
email where the sender matches a contact
and automatically delete email in your email
program when one is deleted in Amicus. |
 |
Outlook Synchronization
With Outlook Synchronization, any Contacts,
Calendar Appointments and Tasks/To Do’s
that are created in Amicus Attorney will
also appear in your Microsoft Outlook, and
vice versa. |
 |
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. |
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 of fields based on file type. This new
and sophisticated intake form reduces the number
of mouse clicks and the amount of navigation
otherwise required.
 |
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. |
Documents
 |
Document Search
Quickly
find documents based on document profiles
and content. Searches may relate to a
single file across multiple files.
|
 |
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.
|
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. |
Library
Integrate
and customize your research and practice information
through the new Library module. The Library
is a unique information and research management
tool that stores a database of all the research
materials your team has accumulated.
