Software Update 2.0.1.259

Description: Client Billing Documents toggle and Billing Management Report
Status: Effective immediately
Date: 26 February 2021
Dynamic interface: Two, Core, Front Desk
Version: 2.0.1.254

Individual matters may now be set to allow Client Billing. This directly affects Statements and Invoices. The toggle is available in various places for ease of use.

Billing Management Report replaces the General File Detail Report. The client balance as calculate on the Billing Management Report corresponds and can be verified on the Ledger History Statement View and the Statement.

Workflow: it is recommended that for each Fee Earner two reports are printed. A report on files marked for NONE, to clearly identify matters where routine billing documents should not be generated, such as conveyancing and estates. A report marked for DEFAULT to show matters where client billing will take place.

Description: Fee Book Combo
Status: Effective immediately
Date: 13 February 2021
Dynamic interface: Two, Front Desk
Version: 2.0.1.249

Explanation:

The Fee Book is the most important work area in Dynamic. User feedback over the last few weeks indicated several areas which could be improved.

Fee Book Combo is intended as a single point of entry where important day to day work can be done. The new Fee Book Combo incorporates the existing Fee Book Entries page, File Notes, Agents Journals and Ledger View into a single consolidated workspace reducing the number click and navigating required to get work done. It’s definitely faster.

Watch this space!

A new update is coming!

New version 2.0.1.22 is expected to release any day now!

What is in the new version?

Several new features, with a lot more to come!  The new version creates a new kind of connection framework. This is based on a server side API which will make it easy to integrate Dynamic with a variety of other software solutions.  Some of these may take time, but the framework is now being implemented.

Specifically

  • Alpha-numeric account numbers, such as “A1234” or “ABC12” are now possible.  The current Chart of Accounts remains in tact, but the additional account number ranges mean that the system now allows up to 1.5 million client accounts. Accounts remain a standard five characters in length.
  • Smoother User-Interface workflow.
  • Thousand separator spaces for all currency display, such as 1 234 567.98.
  • Additional calculation display for VATable transactions.
  • Bank Recon import has been streamlined.
  • Client Balance List now displays only accounts with balances. Zero balance accounts are ignored.
