LegisSQL Version 2

Legis is a feature rich application that provides a huge potential for any ambitious firm who wants to remain competitive.

Below we have listed the highlights, but some features are particularly important to consider when buying a Case Management System. For example, a product based on an SQL database should now be a number one absolute requirement when it comes to purchasing any new system.

Application Features

Full Case Management System

Provides all necessary standard data fields, and an initial set of documents/letters, and allows complete configuration of additional data screens by worktype enabling you to decide what additional worktype specific information you wish to store and on what screens it is displayed/edited. We can provide a full 'turn-key' solution if required.

Highly Configurable

In addition to the complete configuration of additional data screens by worktype, the system administrator can also decide what shortcuts appear in the 'outlook navigation bar' on the left hand side of the main window. These are totally configurable by means of an XML file, and can be set to fire built-in LegisSQL actions such as producing a customised letter, or much more powerful 'processes' such as the complete inception of a new matter. This area will be developed even further in future to make sure that the 'shortcuts' you need most often for a particular worktype are available as quickly as possible.  This configurability makes LegisSQL extremely easy to use from a handler's point of view, but extremely powerful in it's capabilities.

Email (fully integrated with Exchange Server)

LegisSQL contains three programs which automate the handling of email to and from a matter. By means of embedded codes and/or subject lines, email responses can be automatically routed to the correct matter. If this information is missing from an incoming email, then the email can be allocated to the correct matter by manual intervention. Incoming emails automatically appear in the matter's document screen, and may be set to automatically put an entry on the handlers Task List.

Task Manager

A vital and integral part of LegisSQL, this allows a handler to instantly see all tasks requiring his/her attention, and allows access to them by a single mouse-click. The task list can be ordered by priority, and filtered dynamically to ensure maximum productivity.

Document manager

Instantly allows a handler to see every document/letter/email for a particular matter in date order, or by user specifiable sort sequence. Allows instant viewing of the relevant item (for example, a scanned incoming letter, or a sent letter, or an response to an email).

Document Scanning Capability

Legis provides a powerful posting capability allowing a true paperless office, if desired, by allowing all incoming mail to be scanned, and attached to the relevant matter by a 'post room'. The scanned documents can then be accessed on-screen by the handlers, saving all the time associated with hunting for matter files.

Development Tools

Legis Screen Designer (Painter)

This allows you to define your own additional data input screens within the system so that you may customise LegisSQL to store exactly the data required for a particular work provider (and this may be different for each provider!). Our unique process then produces true SQL tables from these visually designed screens, and lets you access the values in the document designer using the field names you have chosen!  The level of customisation and tailorability to your workflow is simply unequalled.

Legis Document Designer (Builder/ Letter maker)

This program allows the creation and modification of documents (letters and/or emails and/or forms) within the system. We have written a simple document specific language that is very easy to learn by non-technical staff. Anyone familiar with word-processing will find it a simple task to learn the additional formatting and field merge notation to create any type of document.
