Changes to Login Page

Batch Finalize Draft Invoices

• Smokeball Billing now has the ability to batch finalize all draft invoices. 
• Simply select the desired matters and click "Finalize." 
• Note: Any closed matters will not be able to be batch finalized.

Evergreen Retainer Applied Immediately

• When activating Evergreen Retainer on matters, if any matter is below the minimum limit, the requirement will be applied immediately.
• A warning will appear in the top right of Smokeball Billing and the client will appear under Evergreen Requests.
• To learn more, review Evergreen Retainers.

Delete Transactions

• If an error is made entering any transactions, users have the ability to delete the mistake transaction.
• Continue to use reversals for returned checks or reversed payments; delete is for a transaction which was entered by mistake and you do not want to appear on reporting or invoicing. 
• All deleted transactions are available under the "show deleted transactions" filter in Matters> Transactions or Accounts>Transactions at any time.

Changes to Login Page

• You can now check "This is a private computer" to load your data faster in future logins. 
• Smokeball's Billing feature is being rebranded as Smokeball Billing, and over the next releases, you may notice a few changes. 
• Once Smokeball Version 5.2 is released, you'll notice the button change as well.
