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.

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.”
