Flexible Calendaring and Docketing
Calendar Manager features a rules-based calendaring engine that automatically calculates and schedules all the required calendar events, deadlines and reminders for every matter or case. Calendar rules are calculated in days, court days, weeks, months or years, as required. Court-observed holidays are factored into the calendar by default. Calendar Manager can also recognize weekends as court days as is required in some European countries. Users can select whether to use optional automated court rules or firm-defined rules at both the case and event level for greater flexibility.
Microsoft Outlook Integration
Calendar Manager can send reminders via email to notify users of upcoming events and deadlines. Using Elite Calendar Connect for Microsoft Outlook, firms can automatically publish due dates, events and reminders to personal calendars in Outlook, a convenient interface which enables synchronization with PDA and BlackBerry devices. Whenever changes or updates to events are made in Calendar Manager, Calendar Connect immediately updates corresponding events in Outlook.
Automated Court Rules
Calendar Manager offers optional automated court rules to manage deadlines and requirements of individual cases and matters. Through the use of automated court rules, the potential for missing important deadlines is virtually eliminated.
An advisory board of expert attorneys writes and reviews all optional automated court rules. Only direct sources are used to ensure accurate and complete rules.
