Version 16.2 Changes Posted

Dec 20

Posted by Dawn Bevans in Technical | No Comments

Our most recent posting on December 20, 2012 includes the following enhancements (Version 16.2.3.436):

  • Improved Installation on Windows 8 – Windows 8 includes tiles for every item in the start menu. As a result, we’ve moved the Documentation and Slide Show items from the Start screen to the Help menu in the software to provide a cleaner look. The new Help menu options are available for all users; however, the Documentation and Slide Show items have been removed only for Windows 8 installs.
  • Credit Card Authorization – The Security Code field on the credit card authorization window is no longer required by Tabs3, thus making it easier and more secure to process manual credit card payments that are sent via mail. We also removed this field from the Credit Card Remittance form layout provided with the software and sample data.
  • HotDocs 11 Support – Added support of HotDocs document assembly template *.TTX and *.DOCX files. Added support for *.TTX and *.DOCX files to WorkFlows when specifying HotDocs document assembly templates.

PracticeMaster Licenses Needed for Tabs3 Connect

Several people have asked for clarification regarding how to determine the number of PracticeMaster licenses required for Tabs3 Connect. The number of PracticeMaster licenses you have determines the number of people that can be logged into PracticeMaster and Tabs3 Connect at the same time. For example, if 10 people are logged into PracticeMaster at your office and 5 people are logged into Tabs3 Connect, you will need 15 PracticeMaster licenses. If one attorney has PracticeMaster open on his desktop and then logs into Tabs3 Connect, this counts as two logins. Furthermore, the number of users that can be configured for Tabs3 Connect is limited to the active user limit of your firm’s PracticeMaster license.
