We’re pleased to announce our next release is scheduled for Monday 8/12, 11PM CDT – Tuesday 8/13, 3AM CDT. As always: no upgrades or changes are needed on your end. When the system comes back up, all clients will immediately have access to the new functionality.

Case Selector

We’ve streamlined the process of getting into your case in a couple ways that really improve the experience.

• When you get to work you normally want to continue where you left off last night, so why make you choose a case when you login?  From now on: we’ll send you to where you left off and make it easier to change should you need to.
• Our handy new case selector allows you to see all the cases you have available and switch between them quickly and easily.

Search

As you know, we consider searching to be at the core of our product.  Even when we set out to do a release that has nothing to do with searching, we can’t help ourselves:  There’s always got to be some improvements.  We’re introducing a couple new features to improve the experience.

• Search by issue or designation label/objection.  This functionality had available in documents but will now be available for transcripts and depositions as well.  We’ve updated Advanced Search accordingly, moving the “Search by label” option out of the documents-only section and up into the general options.
• Related Results.  In addition to finding related files, blog posts, and events our “Related Results” section will now also return matching issues and/or designation labels/objections.

Finding Depositions and Transcripts

Links have been added to quickly search alphabetically or by designation label/issue.

Designating Depositions and Transcripts

We’ve dramatically cleaned up our designations interface.  The (potentially quite long) list of all designation labels and issues has been replaced by the ability to select a particular item to view the current designations.  Items marked with asterisk are already applied to the current deposition/transcript.

The designation add/edit/import tool has been tied more directly to the viewer window itself and now sits directly above it.  This should streamline the process and make it a bit more intuitive.
