Thank you both for the suggestions. We will pass this onto engineering for consideration. We hope this helps.

@gregg_appcoll adding onto the Power of Attorney yes/no. It would be helpful if a POA form could be linked to the actual contact (assignee or inventor)

@gregg_appcoll Thanks, Greg, however I would still find it very helpful to have a syntax for an alternate field, when a first field is blank. As I previously noted, I have several situations where such a syntax would be helpful:

(a) a client-specific USPTO customer number (if the client has one), or the firm's customer number (if the client doesn't have one) (Some of my clients want me to use their customer number, rather than mine. I have templates for responses to Office Actions, etc. that include a customer number in the document headers)

(b) a client-specific USPTO deposit account number (if the client has one), or the firm's deposit account number (if the client doesn't have one). (My template responses include boilerplate language authorizing charges to a deposit account, in case of a missed extension of time.)

(c) actual filing date or official filing date or priority date, depending on what is available. (For example, when calculating due dates for foreign applications.)

Thanks,
George

Hi Kevin, thanks for the feedback. This feature is being worked on and should be available in the future.

Hi Sadiq - thanks for the suggestion. We'll certainly look into this.

Hello Kate and Melissa,

This is a good idea and something we have formally submitted to our engineering team as a new feature. It may take some time, but it will be added. Thanks for your continued feedback.

@gregg_appcoll Missed this! Sorry! I just reached out. Thank you.

Hi Michael. Thanks for the feedback. Did you know that AppColl can create one invoice per matter in a bulk operation? This may alleviate the issue you have with multiple users trying to create multiple client-specific invoices. Now, as you know, this will not allow for editing multiple invoices by multiple users simultaneously.

@WendyZ2824 We reached out and are awaiting a response from him.

Hi Christian, we're working on it - should be available before the end of the year.

I agree. I currently use a separate spreadsheet for organizing oddball tasks. One of the main benefits of this spreadsheet over AppColl is the ability to color code the task entries so I can better view / absorb the task list. I'd love to have this ability in AppColl and get rid of this additional spreadsheet.

@BrandonK6644 Whoops, looks like I had the same idea, but a few weeks later https://forum.appcoll.com/topic/343/set-task-background-color-based-on-taskstatus?_=1748361445416

Hi Catherine,

This has been added to your account. We hope this helps.

HI Rebecca,

We have added this to our list of items to address. We will certainly let you know when this has been added.

Hi Christian - we'll look into making this an option. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Katherine - we are aware of this and have it as a project to fix. In the meantime, you would still need to make manual changes. We hope this helps.

Hi Bruce and Christian - The EarliestBenefitDateEdited was not meant to be included in task triggers. This will removed. It's an internal field we use to know whether an EBD has been manually edited by the user.

If another connection is added to a matter, we will automatically recalc the EBD, for the current matter as well as each matter in the family (assuming a change is needed). I hope this helps.

Hi Catherine. It looks like the new SB08a form resets the numbering for each category. And not a continuous number all the way through each category. We wouldn't be able to change this since the form forces the cite number. We hope this helps.

@BrandonK6644 We worked in depth with our developers on this today. Unfortunately, there is not a way to make this work within the current reporting capabilities of AppColl.

Apologies for the delay.
