RE: Static timer screenposted in Product Requests
Hello all. You can do this by opening a tab with the Billing Timers Billing dropdown. Then move this as separate window in your browser. So you will have AppColl in one browser window and the Billing Timers in a separate window. We hope this helps.

RE: New fields request - ContactIDposted in Product Requests
Hi Christian - we actually have this data in the database called ClientContactContactID. We will expose this as a column.
For inventors, you can export the inventor list from the Matter's Excel icon. This download includes the InventorID. We will let you know when this is done. Does this work for you?

RE: Allow contact objects to be added to matters as custom fieldsposted in Product Requests

RE: Allow contact objects to be added to matters as custom fieldsposted in Product Requests
I understand what you're saying and the difference between what we provide and what you're seeking. We will pass this on to engineering Sadiq.
Regarding the contacts query option we currently have, the drop-down created by the query would list actual contacts, and not things like email addresses. You could use a query to only show a list of Inventors, by writing Role.Contains("inventor") for example.
Thank you.

@ChristianS9906 Do you have an example that takes multiple minutes? This will help us. But we are working on this with some architecture changes.

RE: Automated Customer Number Listing for eOffice Action processingposted in Product Requests
@ChristianS9906 We have upped the priority. Ver. 1 won't have the UI to specify a subject line. Do you have a default in mind?

RE: Invoice Discounts - please add $ amount optionposted in Product Requests
We have upped the priority of this. In the meantime, you can add a Fee offset billing item and enter the dollar amount you are discounting. We hope this helps.

RE: Automated Customer Number Listing for eOffice Action processingposted in Product Requests
We will get this done. Ver 1 may be to send the notifications to the account admins. Would this be OK? We can elaborate on it a bit later.

RE: Automated Customer Number Listing for eOffice Action processingposted in Product Requests
Hi Christian,
Thank you for your suggestions. Currently, we prevent multiple accounts from using the same customer number. This is for privacy reasons. A second account can use a cust number once we have approval from the first. Allowing any customer number in the contacts page would circumvent that requirement without additional validation.
Your addendum request is feasible and will be passed on to engineering. I hope this helps.

RE: Let us choose, per-client, whether to use "ClientRef" or "AttorneyRef" in fields that are currently populated with "AttorneyRef"posted in Product Requests

RE: Syntax for alternate field, when a first field is blankposted in Product Requests
@GeorgeJ4336 We accomplished this by adding a new field called {Matter.Client.PrimaryContact.NickNameOrFirst}. With this change, we will use the nickname if it exists, and if not, we will use the first name.
Sorry for the delay in following up. We hope this helps.

RE: Invoice-Level Locking to Improve Multi-User Workflowsposted in Product Requests
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.

Why do the daily task notification emails not include every task coming due on every day?posted in General Discussion
The daily task notification emails are a legacy way of alerting you to upcoming due dates. We highly recommend creating your own custom docketing reports instead, as this approach is very limited in the data that can shown in the email.
However, if you are still using the legacy reports, we do not include every upcoming due date on every day. By default, as shown below, each task is shown on the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6th month of its due date. Then within 1 month, the task is shown 1, 2, and 3 weeks before its due date. Within the last week, the task is shown each day leading up to its actual due date.
