TurboLaw Time and Billing version 1.25 has been released, and as usual there are many new features and improvements.

One major new change in this version is the ability to use a different file format for the TurboLaw Time and Billing database file. This new “.db3” file format is based on the SQLite database engine, and features a much smaller file size as well as improved performance for some types of actions (especially reports, graphs, and statements).

TurboLaw Time and Billing does not use this new format by default, but if you’d like to use it, you can choose this new format when you create a new database by clicking File > New. Of course, if you already have data in a previous file, you can merge that existing data into your new file by choosing File > Import > Merge data from TurboLaw Time and Billing.

Some of the other new features and improvements in this version are:

  • Improved importing of clients from TurboLaw Document Software
  • Added Remote Support option to the Help menu
  • Added “item_matter” as an available merge field when customizing bill templates
  • Fixed some text alignment issues in some of the built-in bill templates
  • Printing a client’s information now shows the default ID or the custom ID you’ve entered
  • Voided bills now appear as “(VOID)” in the list of bills to distinguish them more clearly from other bills
  • Now possible to add a new matter directly in the Enter Custom Billing Rate window
  • When entering a new staff member, the drop-down list containing titles is now sorted alphabetically

We hope you enjoy this new version of TurboLaw Time and Billing – and be sure to stay tuned for more updates and improvements, as we are always working hard to make TurboLaw Time and Billing even better!
