The reason may have been to stop generating a number of tasks when the priority date changes. This allows you to manually edit what you need.

RE: Put correct "Items through" date in billsposted in Billing Module
HI George - only the payments and retainer sections should show 10-03-24. The reason why is that we will allow payments to be pulled into the invoice up to the date it's resaved. The idea being, if a customer made a partial payment on Oct-01, we want to include that if the invoice was regenerated on the 3rd.
With that being said, we will add some text that says Payment and Retainers through October 3, 2024. We hope this helps.

RE: Is there a way to have AppColl trigger all the tasks in a workflow at once?posted in Tasks Module
Yes, there is. You can use triggers for multiple task types that are all the same. So task 1 would trigger when some other action occurs. Task 2 would trigger from the exact same action as task 1 did. Same with tasks 3, 4, etc.

RE: Import refs from Patent Center rather than Espacenetposted in Prior Art Module
We evaluated this and came to the conclusion that the data in Patent Center was incomplete and some times invalid. As such, we still rely on eSpaceNet which has cleaner data at this time.
We will look at this again down the road to se if things have gotten better.

RE: Attach File Option on Email Templateposted in Product Requests
We might be able to do this if you're using AppColl to send the email. We will pass this onto engineering. Unfortunately, it would not be possible to do so if you're using Outlook/Gmail due to browser restrictions on the amount of data that can be sent to another email program.

RE: Count of Office Actions and RCEposted in Product Requests
@BrandonK6644 The first report maybe possible, we're looking into this and will get back to you.
The second report is possible provided you have created a custom "File RCE" task type and close them as they are filed. Do you currently have this set up? Thanks.

RE: Allow user to include tasks and/or e-mail notes in Tandem synch'ed accountsposted in Product Requests
You should be able to sync tasks without issue. When you look into the Sync settings, there will be an option to enable these, along with the ability to choose which fields you wish to copy over.
Also, you should be able to sync email notes as of Friday. Please let us know if you need further assistance.

RE: How do you manage version control of your documents?posted in Files
Hi Amy - Each time a document is saved (with the same name) a revision is created. Since we do not provide for editing a document within AppColl, the document must be edited on your local PC/Mac and then uploaded back into AppColl. This will create a new revision. Under this scenario, users would never be editing the same document.
We hope this helps.

RE: APIposted in Product Requests
Hi Richard - setting up periodic reports is the way to go for exporting data. This can be sent to your SFTP server, S3 buckets or traditional email.
You can also send data to our SFTP server, which we can upload into your account. You would need to reach out if this route is something you're considering.
We hope this helps.

RE: Announcing AppColl Signaturesposted in Announcements
@GeorgeJ4336 Hi George. Thank you for the feedback. How do you currently handle? Do you have inventor 1 sign and PDF back to you. Then have inventor 2 sign the same document inventor 1 signed and then PDF back the same document. And then on to the next, etc.?

Hi Alexandre,
We can send your data periodically to your server, via scheduled reports. Unfortunately, we do not have plans to introduce an API for security reasons.
Thanks.
