Changes

🔄 Effective on 2023-07-13 for demo sites, then 2023-07-21 for live sites. 🔄

API Mavens should check the always informative API Changelog for updates and news.

👩🏻‍⚖️ LS-84447: Add direct read-only properties for the Apt # and Address 2 fields in Adverse Party so Gavel mavens can map them in Gavel mappings.

🔌 LS-86883: There is a new "Charge List" top level table available in reports. Handy if you need to look at and filter the thousands of charges in your Charge lookup, and the 15 attributes that each charge can have.

⌚ LS-103295: Ever wondered how Bob worked on one case from 9:00 - 9:30am and another case from 9:00 - 9:15am on the same day? If so, and you'd rather not have that, surely you will enjoy the new "Check for Start/Stop Time Overlaps" configuration option in the Start/Stop Time block that adorns most dynamic timeslip forms. If implemented in our vignette, Bob would have gotten a friendly but stern warning that the 9:00 - 9:15 timeslip overlapped another timeslip, and been unable to save unless he adjusted the start and stop times.

LS-103316: The Admin > Process Settings page gets a new "Matter Billing Dynamic Process" selector, wherein you can select your favorite dynamic billing process to make Invoice Numbers clickable links to edit billing records.

📯 LS-100346: All hail the return of the (now improved) select and edit feature when adding a case contact. Searching and selecting an existing contact to add to a case will now sport a "Select & Set Case Contact Type" button. Unlike its predecessor that let people change the name of the contact, the new button lets you optionally do the one and only sane thing at that point, set the contact's type for that case.

🎶 LS-103674: "Problem Notes" entered on a filled clinic appointment slot get linked to the case that fills the slot. Fantastic. But without a Date Posted, they float forever at the top of the Case Notes list on the case. Boo. Such notes will now get a Date Posted. Yay! But wait, there's more. If someone updates the "Problem Notes" on the appointment slot, the case note will reflect the changes and update the note list's "Updated" column. We're not done yet! This ticket will retroactively update the Date Posted on such notes.

LS-103775: Workflow mavens will surely be pleased to know we've added a rolling Start Date for time triggered jobs.

LS-103814: The Admin > Support Tickets lists will now default to sorting by Date Created descending (colloquially: newest at top).

📠 LS-103998: Fax is now an available column in the Organization List list view that certainly powers your dynamic Organizations section front (all the cool kids have one).
