Version 9.7 Release Notes

Version 9.7 of the Smokeball desktop app contains the following new features and refinements.

New features

Beta test for the New Outlook Add-in for the Desktop App

We have begun closed beta testing for the Microsoft 365 Outlook email integration. The Smokeball Team will be in touch with further details for Beta firms that have expressed interest. 

Referral Agreement Fee Fields

You can now record Referral Agreement Type and Amount in the Matter Info screen. These new fields are already available to use in document automation and will be added to existing Smokeball reports in the upcoming reports update.   

Client Portal Branding

You can now customise the colour scheme of your firm's Client Portal, providing a consistent and trustworthy experience for your clients.

At this point in time, you can designate a brand colour and formatting on the Client Portal header, and/or upload a different logo if necessary. The logo uploaded here will not affect the main logo on your Smokeball account.

Client Portal branding settings can be accessed from Smokeball Settings (cog wheel icon) in the Smokeball Desktop App, or Firm Settings in the Smokeball Web App. For more information, refer to our article.

Refinements

Improved AutoTime idle timer tracking

Smokeball will now detect when your computer goes into sleep mode and is woken up, in an effort to accurately track activities.
