Featured Enhancements

Created a System Maintenance function to Zero Out Case File Balance(s) based on a custom report
of file numbers, for firms who need to bring case file balances to zero en masse,
under Administration > Setup > System Maintenance > Other.

Updated the Documents search to hide the Document folders (categories) if they didn’t
contain any matches to the search text, under Case File > Documents.

We’ve integrated with PaymentVision! Enjoy another great option for credit card and ACH payments.
