A simple "Matters" button in a Contact view that shows all matters with which the contact is associated in any way would work great for me.

@ChristianS9906 We have elevated the priority and will discuss at our next engineering projects review.

I think that I have to take back my thank you.

I recently setup and automatic report for my finance department to use to report the patent portfolio to investors. The Asian characters were question marks. He specifically requested that I find a way to send a spreadsheet report with the patent titles using Asian characters.

This would be so helpful for me. I have no doubt it would assist AppColl beginners to organize the information on reports more easily as well!

@jonah-soundhound-com I agree, although what I'd really prefer is for the truncation to be eliminated.

Yup, I agree, this is a little task that I do, but I would love it if it were already completed when I received the doc!

Hi Jonah. Thank you for the suggestion. It's a great idea.

The speed with which we implement new features depends on several factors:

The number of customers requesting the feature. Obviously more requests elevates the priority. The complexity of the feature, particularly if it requires a user interface change. We strive to keep AppColl easy-to-use - keeping the UI simple and uncluttered is a big part of that. The generality of the request. Is this something all AppColl users would find useful or just a few?

We've recorded your suggestion and we will let you know if and when we have a schedule for implementation.

We very much appreciate you taking the time to send us thoughts about how to improve AppColl. Keep the ideas coming!

My guess is that fields (columns) associated with tasks are black and fields associated with the matters with which the tasks are associated are grey. Noticeably, Status is an exception because it is grey, even though it is a field related to the task.

While the distinction between fields related to tasks and fields related to the matters associated with tasks is surely meaningful to the AppColl developers, it is unimportant to me. I agree with @RichardS3059 that Task reports would be somewhat more readable if almost all text was black.

Date text is a reasonable exception since the difference of blue or red is a useful indicator of whether a task is due in the future or the past.

Hi Jonah - While we currently grab the respective document(s) for each eOA --e.g. we do grab docs that go with 892 actions that come in-- I'll send this over to the Engineering team to see if it's something we can/should/could do. I like the idea of never having to log into PAIR (for various reasons, ha).

Thanks! That is great.

@jonah-soundhound-com A simpler way to do it would be to just generate a bunch of annual docket entries for the entire lifetime of the patent all at once, just like some systems generate a docket entry for each extension of time that's possible for a response when an office action arrives.

But I hate seeing all of those future entries and having to clear them if they're not needed, so I prefer a more complicated configuration that only generates each docket entry when it's needed. A little careful work up front pays off over time.
