My Preferences
You can control certain aspects of how LegalServer looks and operates by setting your preferences.
Preferences you set only affect what you see. They do not affect other users.
Put your cursor over your name at the top right of any page and select "My Preferences":
Most of the preferences you can set are apparent by the label, like font size and the calendar preferences. Here is more explanation for some that may not be obvious:
Intake
Preferred Intake Type: If you do intake, you can select the type of intake you normally do. This assumes your site administrators have configured the initial intake form to allow intake type to be changed.
Use Intake Timer (Can be overridden by administrator): If your administrator has not turned off this feature, this puts a checkbox on the first page of all intakes that lets you start a timer to record how much time you spend on an intake.
Interface
Interface: Show/Hide Taskbar Effect - no longer does anything and will be removed in the future.
Number of AJAX Search Results: The "AJAX" search boxes appear in several places in Legal Server. These are the boxes where you typically type part of a name and potential matches show up below the box in yellow.
Number of Results that Show in a List: This determines how many results will appear in various lists in Legal Server by default. On the Cases tab, for example, the default list of open cases might be over a thousand cases. Instead of retrieving and displaying the entire list, you will see "Viewing 1-20 of 1,555" At the bottom of the list you would see a series of clickable page numbers.
Use High Contrast Theme - no longer does anything and will be removed in the future.
Misc.
Use Rich Editor for Case Notes: Notes you enter in Legal Server use plain text, with no formatting options for bold, italics, or font. Selecting this option will provide some formatting options on notes boxes.
Timekeeping
Non-client Timekeeping Funding Code: If you record time, setting this preference will preselect the funding code when you create a non-client timeslip (time not associated with a specific case). You will be able to change the selection for each timeslip if needed.
Timekeeping: Default (non-client) Activity Type: If you record time, this will preselect the Activity Type for you on your non-client timeslips. You will be able to change the type for any specific timeslip as needed.
Timekeeping: Show Start/End Times: This controls whether you will see the start time and end time fields on timeslips. By default, those fields are "hidden" and you need to click the Show Times button on a timeslip to see them.
