Ziata! News

VERSION 7 is due in June 05.  For a limited time, registered users of Ziata! 6.x will receive a free upgrade.  If you are not a registered user of Ziata!, now is the time to so.  There will be a significant price increase, as we have made significant improvements to this premier workflow package.

VERSION 6.1.0.0. (9/17/02)

Improvements.

General.

-Powerbar Added.

-Powerful CC Lists. Implemented in E-MSG!, Mindsaver.

-Now checks prepositions for New Entities, eg. "Secretary Of State" is now "Secretary of State".

-Quickfinder, New Mindsaver, does not list the entities if the entity is known or presumed per your current work.

-QuickFinder, added date.time sorting for creation date lookups.

-QuickEntry. Tabstops are now enabled if neither male nor female are identified.

-QuickEntry. Automatically enters a default address.

-New Telecomm. Radio button to indicate type.

-Autocapitalization is now turned off if you hold down the shift key, eg, previously, "File W/o Tab" can now be "File w/o Tab" if you hold down the shift key with the w.

-In subfile properties, now checks for new files after creation of a subfile, in the event the folder already existed with files.

-Entity Details. Rules for Customer editing viewing. New Rights. To view Customer General Properties, you must be allowed per security rights or any member of the customer team; to edit, you must be allowed or the first two members of the client team (e.g. if the team is a Billing Attorney, Responsible Attorney and a Paralegal, only the attorneys can edit unless the Paralegal is a member of a group with universal rights to edit.)

To view Customer Miscellaneous Properties, you must be allowed per security rights and be any member of the customer team; to edit, you must be allowed and the first members of the client team (e.g. if the team is a Billing Attorney, Responsible Attorney and a Paralegal, only the Billing Attorneys can edit if permitted.)

Mindsaver.

-Mindsaver logs regenerated on monthly basis.

-Mindsaver Server has additional options for packing the database and backing up. Mindsaver will also update document objects into files. You can also launch files for maintenance. 

    Fixes:

 Mindsaver.

-Move a Mindsaver fixed. Also it used to assign the first project/matter, even if the project was inactive, now Ziata! assigns the first *active* project of the client to whom the Mindsaver is moved.

Contacts/Tasks; Ziata! Address Book.

-Problem with correlation between network setup and local use in Contacts/Tasks as separate modules.

-Contacts were not showing persons and companies from the network, if there was a network login, as a result of no login prompt.

-Integration with Outlook now uses the Business Address also for the Home Address in Outlook for merging purposes. It does not display in the Ziata! Contacts as Home Address, but will show in Outlook as Home Address.

QuickEntry.

-Partial QuickEntry entries fixed. Used to give an error if partial QuickEntry entries were entered.

Files/Subfiles.

-File and subfile properties "Gregg Zegarelli" placeholder showed even if not possessed by a User (it displayed the correct User name if a file or subfile was actually possessed).

-Fixed listings of subfiles.

General.

-Fixed word checking in addresses, "baptist" was changed to "bApartmentist". The was the result of the "apt" being automatically changed to "apartment".

-Fixed if you search on a person's name in the personal listing dialog box and click New, the name is parsed properly for the default entry information.

-Fixed getting e-mails from publication lists, now drills down into lists referencing other lists.

-Listing for Subject Codes did not match the field names in the Subject Code Properties

-Projects Property Box there was no security on revisions to the Customer Team.

-Project Subject code retrieval would not go to current code.

-New Assumed Names dialog box would not search for closest entry.

-Fixed Mail Slip properties, added features.
