New features: Billing Tab

LawRD Team,  

October 7, 2011

First and foremost we must apologise to you, Lawrd’s blog reader, for our radio silence since July 2011. Our inactivity in the blog did not meant a inactivity in the work: From August to September we have been busy with many Lawrd’s developments and enhancements. For you to be in the know:

  • The process of billing is faster;
  • 5 bugs reported by our clients considered to be a priority have been fixed;
  • Our Amazon servers have been optimized;
  • Backups are more efficient than ever so that downtime can become old news;
  • PagSeguro is up and running for our Brazil readers.

During the last two months we have defined, once again through feedback of our clients, what developments to do until the end of 2011. We have 13 scheduled developments that will be reported in this blog along the way.

Today we implemented a more simple version of the Billing Tab. From now on, while accessing the Billing Tab, you can filter the data you want to view by client - being able to see the Unbilled values , the Unpaid billing sheets and those already fully paid (Paid Invoices):

In the sub-tabs Unpaid Invoices and Paid Invoices, you can add or delete payments as well as deleting billing sheets.

When deleting or issuing a payment, there are immediate implications in the client’s account, as you are able to immediately view the client’s financial position on your law firm after the accomplished actions.

When deleting a billing sheet the client’s account is updated and times and expenses included become available in the sub-tab Unbilled so they can be later included in a new billing sheet.

We are certain that you will be pleased to be able to delete a payment in such a straightforward way. :)

A Voice from Brazil

There is a new collaborator in LawRD blog: Gustavo Rocha.

Gustavo Rocha is a lawyer and consultant in management, IT and quality for law firms. He’s the author of Gestão.Adv.br , a blog through which he aims to spread and  “Bind legal knowledge with management and administrative know-how, along with IT and management tools (…)”

His expert voice has joined LawRD blog in order to enrich it with his insights on IT concerning the legal world.

We are most pleased to give this news. Brazil has been a target market to LawRD. Making LawRD available in Portuguese, as it is spoken on that big country, was just the first step. Adding this new voice is the second step towards adding value to all readers of LawRD’s blog.
