About this Build
This build brings a number of new features and noticeable improvements in daily work — from a newly structured case folder to a financial case dashboard to AI-supported performance texts in the Web Timesheet. Below you will find the most important new features since Build 260814-01.
Deadlines and Reminderss
When you create or move an appointment, timeSensor LEGAL continuously checks whether any of the registered persons are already booked at the same time. Busy participants receive a symbol in the participant list, and a summary line "Scheduling conflict for: ..." appears with the button Open Calendar, so you can view the affected week directly.
Only real calendar appointments count as busy. Deadlines and reminders do not occupy time and therefore do not cause conflicts. Two appointments that directly follow each other are also not considered a conflict.
When saving, the software asks again: "There is a scheduling conflict for ... Save anyway?" You decide. The default is deliberately set to No so that an accidental keystroke does not approve a double appointment. If you answer No, the window remains open and you can reschedule the appointment.
Ticket System
The chat on a ticket now notifies the other party — previously, only a newly created ticket did this.
- The blue dot always shows from whom something is expected. If you ask a follow-up, it lights up at the other person; if they answer, it moves back to you.
- It only expires when answering, not when reading. An open question no longer gets lost this way.
- The counters "In" and "Out" track open follow-ups separately, in addition to the appointment colors.
- A new message notifies with sound and system alert, just like a new ticket. If left unanswered, it alerts again.
- In the ticket list, the chat icon now only appears where you are up next — no longer on every ticket that ever had a chat.
- Follow-ups now work on all ticket types, including phone notes, routing slips, approvals, and memos. And the chat tab now actually opens the chat page.
A ticket opened in the ticket manager updates itself automatically. A ticket you opened in a separate window only shows new messages when you reopen it.
Case Folder
timeSensor LEGAL 365 now remembers the date filter in the case folder per case and per user. If you set the date filter for documents or drafts in a case folder, this setting will apply the next time you open exactly that case — and no longer generally for all. By default, all documents are displayed.
Communicator
Emails and beA messages without a subject previously landed untitled in the DMS and were practically impossible to find. They now automatically receive a meaningful name, for example, "Email from Muster AG dated 27.08.26" or "beA message dated 27.08.26."
When archiving from the Communicator, the first matching folder is now consistently used if a case has multiple folders with the same name.
Finances
The general tolerance for the next statement date is now set by default to 0 days instead of 5. Previously, five days of grace were automatically added for payment processing, which came as a surprise to many entities. If you want to keep the previous five days, simply increase the number of days in your dunning schemes by 5 days.
Copying to Excel
When you copy rows from a list to the clipboard, multiline text fields — notes, address additions, remarks — are correctly escaped. When pasting into Excel, this keeps the content in one cell instead of splitting the table across multiple rows.
Work Schedules
Each work schedule has an additional notes field. There, you record the basis of the schedule — change in workload, temporary arrangement, agreement — instead of searching for this information elsewhere.
Update Dialog
If an update also changes the underlying 4D database engine, the update dialog now notifies you in advance and requires your explicit confirmation. Such a change affects all workstations because a new client version must also be installed there — so you plan the update consciously instead of discovering it unexpectedly.
Security
Web access has been further secured. Repeated failed login attempts are now throttled: after several failed attempts in quick succession, a waiting period is enforced, and the web client displays how long it will last. Nothing changes for daily work — it only becomes noticeable during automated login attempts.
