Version 9.4 of the Smokeball Desktop App contains the following new features and refinements.
This version is in beta
Version 9.4 is currently undergoing beta testing.
New features
Bulk reassign work from former staff
You can now bulk reassign tasks, events, workflows, matters and leads that have belonged to staff who are no longer with the firm.
After selecting Set Former Staff on a staff card, you will now be presented with a list of items to reassign to another staff member. You can also select Apply To All to reassign all work to a certain staff member, if applicable.
Once you confirm the reassignment, Smokeball will work in the background to apply the changes. You can track progress by selecting the Uploads, Downloads & Exports icon on the top-right corner of the app.
Linking email attachments to the originating email
We have made improvements to linking attachments back to the originating email. When right-clicking an attachment from the Files List, select Open originating email.
You can also select the mail icon next to the attachment.
Email attachments will also appear in search results. This is only available for emails with attachments associated to a matter from Version 9.4 onwards.
Also, when attaching documents to an outbound email, you will now be prompted to attach the documents to the associated matter only after selecting Send in Outlook. Before, the prompt to save a document to a matter from an outbound email appeared when you attached a document to the email.
Refinements
Right-click to set task priority
You can now set the priority of a task by right-clicking on it from the Tasks List.
Fix to InfoTrack Partial Refunds and Credit Notes
When you receive a partial refund, credit note or both for a specific order, the expense entry will now be updated with the refund amount, instead of remaining as billable.
Note that the refund amount will not always be the same as the original amount due to refund fees charged by InfoTrack.
