Get a headstart on spring
cleaning!
Now
that 2007 is complete and 2008 is here, this a great time to make sure
your Timeslips and Time Matters databases are in good working
condition. Databases
are just like automobiles, so they need some preventative
maintenance now and again.
Start
by making sure you are on the latest release for the version of your
software as detailed below. Sage and LexisNexis have
recently made service releases available for the current
versions of their software. It is important to be on the
latest release.
Next,
make sure your workstations are in good shape by clearing temporary
files and staying current with Windows updates.
Now
give some thought to doing some maintenance on your
database. Can you remove or inactivate old matters or
timekeepers for example? Make sure to consider the impact these
actions might have on management reporting.
We
can help you plan the best strategy to address these issues.
Please contact Allen for assistance at 602-943-9696 x106 or via email.

 From Allen's Desk
Thank you for an excellent 2007
and I look forward to helping you in 2008!
Please note the Timeslips training class schedule for
February-April. We will finalize the schedule for May-July
shortly. Please don't hesitate to contact me for specialized
training at our training center or in your office.
This year I would like to revive our Timeslips User
Group meetings. I am considering two meetings, one in May
and one in November. Please let me know if you would like to
attend and if you have topics of interest to you.
This
past week I had the pleasure of attending Express Digital's Client
Kickoff seminar. They put on a first class event as always.
I
am looking forward to their next event at the AIIM conference at the
APS Center in downtown Phoenix on Thursday, February 7. Please
let me know if you are interested in attending.
If
your firm is interested in learning more about Electronic
Content Management (ECM) and compliance, let me introduce you to
Express Digital Solutions to see what they can do for you!

Tips
& Tricks
|
Did
you know that you can turn off Timeslips features you don't need using
Features Enabled? As an example, you can turn off the extra and time
estimated fields in a slip entry screen if you don't use them.
Did
you know that archiving old records can help keep Time Matters running
faster? Archived records can be viewed on contact and matter sublists
as well as in the file menu and then archives.
Please
forward your questions on Timeslips and Time Matters to Allen via
email and he will answer them in a future edition of the newsletter.
