The development of the operating systems (Windows, macOS) and the 4D database sets the pace for the development of timeSensor LEGAL. After macOS Catalina has kept us busy over the last few months, we have now also made the switch from timeSensor LEGAL to the 4D database 18 LTS. This is the latest version of the 4D database and, in addition to many new features for development, it also brings better performance.


For this reason, we are now upgrading timeSensor LEGAL from 8.0 to 9.0. Before installing the update, please make sure that your server and workstations meet the system requirements. If necessary, ask your IT partner to update the operating systems.


New "Quick Drop" Zone in Timesheet

The highlight of this update is a new "Quick Drop" zone in the timesheet. This new feature facilitates the quick archiving of documents or emails in any mandate. The Quick Drop Zone in the Timesheet complements the previous archiving options, such as drag & drop directly into the mandate folder, setting up an email interface or using a drop folder.

And this is how archiving documents and emails works via the new "Quick Drop" zone:

  1. Select the desired mandate, either by double-clicking on a mandate in the timesheet or by selecting the desired mandate in the menu below "Current mandate".
  2. If you are using an archive division in the selected mandate, select the desired archive register.
  3. Drag one or more documents with the mouse onto the "Quick Drop" zone, or drag one or more emails from Outlook or Apple Mail onto the "Quick Drop" zone.

Note: If the timesheet is in the background, give the window some time to come to the foreground during the drop. The Timesheet window must have the "focus", otherwise your drop will go nowhere.


After a successful drop, a green tick is displayed for two seconds and the drop counter is increased by the number of documents processed. In the following example, two documents were archived.

If you want to make sure that your documents have been archived correctly, or if you want to add an action, e.g. a resubmission, to the archived documents, click once on the drop zone. This will open the mandate folder of the displayed mandate.


Improvement in 4D Write Pro

The Font Menu in 4D Write Pro now shows the fonts last used in the document, as well as the font styles of the individual font families as a submenu.


Improvement in the designs

In the drafts, documents can be exported via the action menu with the command "Save selection on desktop". The following options are available here by pressing additional keys:

  1. No additional key: saves 4D Write Pro documents in native format as .4wp files
  2. Alt/Option: saves 4D Write Pro documents as .docx files
  3. Shift: asks for the destination for the export
