TurboLaw Time and Billing 1.09 Released
July 15, 2008
It may be summertime here in New England, but that doesn’t mean we’re taking a break. In fact, we’re continuing to work hard to make even more improvements to TurboLaw. Toward that end, we’re happy to announce the release of TurboLaw Time and Billing Version 1.09.
The biggest new feature in this release is our Customer Experience Improvement Program. This is an optional program where anonymous information on how you use TurboLaw Time and Billing is collected and sent back to us. This helps us identify which features to improve. (You can read more about the program here.)
This update also includes some changes to the default bill template to make it work better with long descriptions, as well as improvements to the way you enter time and expense items directly onto a bill.
We’re also working on some major new features for TurboLaw Time and Billing based on the feedback we’ve gotten from our users. We hope to have them done in the next few months - we’re very excited about them, and we think you will be too, so stay tuned!
TurboLaw Time and Billing Version 1.08 Released
July 8, 2008
As always, we are pleased to announce the release of the latest version of TurboLaw Time and Billing - Version 1.08.
Here are the new features in this release:
- We’ve added a help link to the Statement window to explain “What is the difference between bills and statements“
- Now when you create a new work item, TurboLaw Time and Billing remembers the last staff member to do work for that particular client and selects that staff member automatically for you, thus saving you from having to remember to make the selection yourself.
- The list of client names in some drop-down lists weren’t sorted alphabetically - now they are.
- There are a number of small aesthetic changes to the program to make it look more consistent and be easier to use
We hope you enjoy these improvements!
New Video Tutorials for TurboLaw Time and Billing
July 2, 2008
We are very happy to announce two new self-help video tutorials for TurboLaw Time and Billing:
- How to Network TurboLaw Time and Billing
- How to use Microsoft® Word and Mail Merge to create labels, envelopes, and letters to clients
You can also find both of these new video tutorials in our How-To Videos section.
The first video tutorial will guide you through how to save your TurboLaw Time and Billing data file onto your network so that you can open it from multiple computers. If you were unsure as to how to use TurboLaw Time and Billing on your network, this short video will answer your questions.
The second video tutorial will guide you through using the “mail merge” feature of Microsoft Word to create a mail merge document from your TurboLaw Time and Billing client list. This can be used to create many types of mail merge documents, such as mailing labels, envelopes, and letters.
You can also use the mail merge function in other programs as well, such as Microsoft Works, Corel® WordPerfect®, StarOffice™/OpenOffice.org Writer, etc. The basic principle is the same, although the specific steps will vary - consult your product’s help file or documentation if you are not sure.
We hope you find these two new video tutorials helpful!
Exciting new features for TurboLaw Time and Billing!
June 11, 2008
We’re very excited to announce the release of the latest version of TurboLaw Time and Billing: Version 1.07.
This new version has some major new features that were inspired by feedback we received from our customers:
- New options for billing - now you can enter your own custom interval instead of having to choose from the 4 options (hour, half-hour, quarter-hour, and tenth-hour) provided previously.
- New option for “exact billing” - now you can bill your clients for exactly the amount of time you enter, instead of using a minimum billing interval.
- New “display as” column for clients allows you to see your clients’ names in one column, making it easier to pick a client out from a long list.
- New “Save As” option to save your database file wherever you want to - including a network, a removable hard drive, or any other place you can save a file.
If you are a user of TurboLaw Time and Billing, the program will let you know once it has been able to download this update for you. If you aren’t a user of TurboLaw Time and Billing, why not give it a try?
As always, we value the feedback we receive from our customers - feel free to let us know what you think!
TurboLaw Time and Billing: Always Improving
May 14, 2008
It’s been just under 2 months since we released TurboLaw Time and Billing, and far from resting on our laurels, we’ve been hard at work making constant improvements based on feedback we receive.
Some of the things we’ve improved are:
- Statements now more clearly show a positive balance/credit - as from when you have a retainer
- We now offer a 30-day trial period
- Statements don’t print out the “payment number” that is used internally to track payments (some people found it confusing)
- Bill numbers now start at 1001 instead of 1 (some people found the old behavior confusing)
- We changed the layout of the Choose Template window to make it easier to see the names of templates (especially if they are long names)
- The template editor has been enhanced to allow you to drag & drop merged fields to make customizing bill and statement templates even easier
- You can now change the headings for work/expenses on bills (look under Tools > Settings)
- You can now choose whether bill items are sorted oldest to newest or vice-versa (look under Tools > Settings)
These are just a few of the improvements we’ve made - and we’re always working on more! We take our responsibility to provide you with great software very seriously, and we always listen to what our customers have to say.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions - feel free to drop us a line! You can email us at help@turbolaw.com, or call us directly at (800) 518-8726. We look forward to hearing from you!
