Version 4.3.2 New Features
(features are alphabetized by topic)
Bug Fixes
1. Calendar - Used to insert random initials when adding an appointment
that was not attached to a case (by clicking the calendar icon from the
toolbar). This has been fixed.
2. General - The X in the upper right corner (to quit A1-Law) is now disabled when you are at screens where you need to save your changes first.
Calendar
1. Printing - You may now specify anywhere from
single to quintuple spacing when printing out calendar reports.
Client Card
You may now specify the number of lines you want to use when
displaying the yellow client card message by clicking Tools, My Preferences,
Client Card - 1-9 lines For Client Card Message
Related Cases You may now quickly relate all cases with the same social security number by clicking the new button on the Related Window.
Configure System Defaults
Security, Timeout - Logout due to inactivity. Enter the
time in minutes and enter 0 to never logout due to inactivity. Zero is the
default.
Security, Short Post - when you check "Force Posting to Case Activity" A1-Law forces users to click the Post button when sending Email so that all Email is sent and posted to the case activity. However, if you check the Configure System Defaults, General, Email, Attach email in Replies then A1-Law automatically includes the original message in your reply. If the user then replies back, then the third Email include Email #1 and #2 and so on. The problem is that you then have duplicate information in the case activity. The Short Post attempts to post ONLY the reply in the Email and not the attached prior Email's that were sent since they are already posted in the case activity.
General General Startup Batch Filename - This new option allows you to run a batch file immediately after the user signs on A1-Law. For example, you may decide to run a batch file that synchronizes the date and time on the workstation with the server by including the NET TIME command in the batch file. An example might be as follows: extras\InitWrk.bat
General General User Log Set to -1 for unlimited no of days, no space mgmt. For example, you may decide to set this to 365 so that A1-Law stores the last 365 days of when users signed in and out of A1-Law. To view this information, click Tools, System, TimeClock.
General Client Card Never update DateClosed - A1-Law now ALWAYS enters a Date Closed when a file is marked closed if one has not already been entered. Any status that beings with CL is considered Closed. This is the default. If you do not want A1-Law to automatically enter the date closed when the status is changed to CL (or any letters that begin with CL) then you may check this box so that the date closed is left empty.

Form Letters
GetParty [continue] and [continue2] parameters position to the
NEXT item in the Party list. For example:
<<command = getparty,employer>> positions to the first
employer in the list.
<<command = getparty,employer [continue2]>> positions to the
NEXT employer in the list.
The continue2 parameter says to start the search from the next item in the
list. The continue parameter says to start the search from the current
item in the list. Therefore, the following will print the first two
employers in the list:
<<command = getparty,employer>><<command = name FirmOnly>>
<<command = getparty,employer [continue2]>><<command = name
FirmOnly>>
Mail Tracker
Control-Zero now breaks out of mail tracker searches.
