Better visibility of password requirements 

We have updated the password requirements display in various screens to ensure transparency on requirements when creating a new password. 

Branch office improvements

You can now assign a branch when creating a new lead.

You can also select Branch as a column to display in the Matter List.This is turned off by default; to enable this column, right-click on a column heading and select Branch.

Notable Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where prompts to set up 2FA were showing if firm users were already logged in via SSO.
  • Fixed an issue where users lost Memos that there untitled on Leads, resulting in data loss.
  • Updated the Water & Sewerage Adjustment Item in QLD Conveyancing matters (Purchase, Sale, Transfer) to support up to four decimal places until the two figures are added and then multiplied by the days.

Pending payment improvements

We have made some changes to the behaviour of pending payments/receipts to prevent overpayments from landing into the trust account.

In the Invoice screen:

  • When there is a pending payment for the full amount of the invoice (i.e. it is within its clearance days period), the Add Payment, Pay By Credit Card and Waive buttons will be disabled.

  • When there is a pending payment for a partial amount of the invoice, the Waive button will be disabled, and the debtor can only pay the remaining balance of the invoice.

When doing a Bulk Trust to Office transfer: 

  • Invoices with full pending payments will still appear but they cannot be selected for payment.

  • Invoices with part pending receipts will show and allow for the remaining balance to be paid.
