When working with the mandate folders in timeSensor LEGAL, you may wish to be able to copy the contact information on the right-hand side, for example, in order to process it in another software or to have your telephone system dial a telephone number. As of this version, you can do this by right-clicking:

Alternatively, you can click once on the contact information and wait until the field is in input mode. Now you can copy the desired information here with [Cmd] + [C] (macOS) or [Ctrl] + [C] (Windows). However, you cannot make any entries in the field; the new behaviour only serves to extract the information for transfer to other software.

If documents with attachments are archived in the DMS module (e.g. emails), there is sometimes the wish to copy such attachments separately into another area of the archive. Until now, the document had to be moved to the desktop and then freshly imported. Now it is possible to copy an attachment directly into an archive by dragging and dropping:

If many contacts are listed in a mandate folder, it is easy to lose track of them. This is especially the case if there are dependencies. If, for example, you assign three opposing parties in a mandate, each of whom has taken a lawyer, it is difficult to see which opposing lawyer belongs to which opposing party. The following two screen shots, one of the mandate settings and one of the resulting mandate folder, show the problem:

As of this build, you can now make such affiliations visible when creating a mandate by right-clicking on indentations in the mandate settings. In this way, you can visually see that James Burger belongs to the opposing party Amram Frei:

This technique now makes it clear in the mandate folder who belongs to whom:

Improvements in the Communicator module

Reply and thread recognition

Avoiding duplicates in the archive

Learning new email addresses

If you assign an address or a mandate to a "red" message, the communicator suggests that you transfer the corresponding email address directly into the dossier.

Improved control of the message flow

The communicator has the task of recognising incoming emails, assigning them, converting them to PDF and saving them in the relevant file. Remember: the communicator always receives copies of messages in the archive mailbox: the original message remains in your usual work mailbox. For this reason, you should ensure that the messages are also deleted from the communicator quickly after processing. Because once the message (as a PDF file) has arrived in the document archive (DMS module) of timeSensor LEGAL, there is no reason to keep the message in the communicator any longer.

To avoid having to do this yourself, you can set rules in the communicator for how the message flow should proceed. A message is first moved from the inbox (incoming messages) or from Sent to the archive. After a certain waiting time, the message is then automatically moved to the trash. After a further waiting period, the message is automatically deleted.

Assigned (green) e-mails are allowed to pass through the communicator more quickly, because there is usually nothing more to do with them. Unassigned (red) emails should move through the communicator more slowly to allow enough time for the message to be assigned. To configure the message flow, select Manage Accounts from the Tools menu. In the Message Flow section, click the Settings... button to configure the message flow. to configure the message flow.
