Network Requirements

The Network Setup Assistant makes networking TurboLaw quick and easy.

For use on a network, TurboLaw simply requires a “shared” folder that can be “mapped” to a drive on each workstation. The TurboLaw program is installed on each user’s computer or workstation, while the data (the case database and documents created for each case) is kept on the shared network drive.

For example, if a shared folder called “TurboLaw” is created on a server (or another computer on the network), each workstation must be configured such that the “TurboLaw” folder appears as a “drive” in Windows Explorer. All drives in Windows Explorer are assigned letters, such as A:, C: or D:. The network drive must also be assigned a letter; this is called a “mapped network drive.”
