Holiday Hours for Thanksgiving

Our office will be closed on Thursday, November 24th and Friday, November 25th, in recognition of Thanksgiving. We hope everyone enjoys the holiday.

CalendarRules Demonstration on Wednesday, November 30

On Wednesday, November 30th at 1pm Central Time, we will hold a 30-minute CalendarRules demonstration. We will present an in-depth demonstration of the integration between CalendarRules and PracticeMaster and answer any questions clients may have.

As always, you will be notified if any of your clients sign up for the webinar. Please remember to sign the reseller agreement with CalendarRules in order to get the commission in a timely manner. For more information about reselling CalendarRules, email Stacy Saliman at [email protected].

This will be a great opportunity for any of your clients who are interested in CalendarRules and want to see the integration. We will promote this webinar to all California PracticeMaster clients on maintenance.

Timeslips 2017 Conversions

Tabs3 Transporter is a utility program used to perform a one-time conversion of Timeslips data (Versions 10, 11, and 2004 through 2016) to Tabs3 Version 18.1. Previous Timeslips updates have not necessitated making changes to Tabs3 Transporter. Unfortunately, modifying it for use with Timeslips 2017 will require significant changes to the transporter, therefore we have decided not to update Tabs3 Transporter to work with Timeslips 2017 at this time.

As a reminder, existing Timeslips customers are entitled to a 15% discount (up to $150) when purchasing Tabs3 software with Timeslips proof of purchase.

For additional information about the Tabs3 Transporter, please see KB Article R11476.

Windows Server 2016 Testing Completed

We are pleased to announce that we have completed testing of the Tabs3 and PracticeMaster software on the new Windows Server 2016 platform. We have updated the System Requirements on the Web Site and Knowledge Base to officially indicate this.

View All Calendar Fields in Tabs3 Connect

Our most recent posting of PracticeMaster includes the ability to View All fields in the Calendar File in Tabs3 Connect. This means that you can now view any custom fields implemented in the Calendar File while using Tabs3 Connect. Previously, only the default fields in the Calendar File were accessible via Tabs3 Connect. You will need to download new programs in order to use this feature (18.1.4.534 and later).

New Features Added to CalendarRules Integration

On September 2, 2016, we posted several new features to the CalendarRules integration we released last month.

  • Configure Which CalendarRules Items Will Be All-Day Events
    We added the ability to configure which CalendarRules record types will be created as All-Day Events in PracticeMaster.  By default, any item with a Start Time is created as an event.  You can now designate whether you want Trigger items,  Appear or Attend items, File and/or Save items, and Other items that do not have a Start Time specified to be created in PracticeMaster as All-Day Events. Otherwise, they will be created as tasks.
  • Matter Manager Has New Calendar Plan Filter
    The Matter Manager now includes a new Calendar Plans filter. When using this filter, the list displays the trigger item for each generated Calendar Plan. Clicking the trigger item opens a View Calendar Plans window that shows all items in the Calendar Plan. This feature is available for CalendarRules Calendar Plans as well as Calendar Plans generated by PracticeMaster Calendar Plan Templates.
  • Matter Manager Has New Calendar Plan Icons
    When viewing All Activity in the Matter Manager, we added new icons to distinguish whether the event is a regular event, a Calendar Plan event or a CalendarRules event, and whether the task is a regular task, a Calendar Plan task or a CalendarRules task.

These new features are available with 18.1.4.534 and later. You can learn more about CalendarRules integration in the following resources:
