FYI for June 2007

LexisNexis® CaseMap® new features and integrations is the theme for this month’s Client FYI.  Are you taking advantage of all that CaseMap® has to offer? 

Enhanced CaseMap Acrobat Plus Plug-In

We brought you the CaseMap PDF Bates Stamper in CaseMap 6. In CaseMap 7 we changed the Bates Stamper name to the CaseMap Acrobat Plus Plug-In to better reflect its capabilities. The new plug-in gives you enhanced tools to help you find specific Bates-numbered pages, filter to limit your spreadsheet view to a range of documents, analyze your document index to identify potential problems in your Bates Number entries, synchronize Bates End/Pages fields and more.

The Bates Analyzer looks at the numbers in the Bates Begin and Bates End fields and performs several analyses to find inconsistencies, duplications and anomalies. You can get a summary of the analyses as well as tabs to view Invalid Documents, Duplicate Documents, Duplicate Pages, Gaps and Valid Ranges and then create reports as needed.
             
With the Bates Find and Filter utility you can find a Bates-numbered document anywhere in your Objects-Documents spreadsheet. CaseMap 7 makes it easy to filter your Documents spreadsheet for a range of Bates Numbers. 
             
The new Bates End/Pages Synchronization feature adjusts either the Bates End entry or the Pages value for a document record, and then the corresponding field will automatically adjust to remain in synch.

For a demonstration of the CaseMap Acrobat Plus Plug-In click here to view an online tutorial. The tool can be purchased separately, but does require CaseMap 6 or 7 and Acrobat 6 or later—Standard or Professional. Contact your LexisNexis sales representative for more information or email casemap.info@lexisnexis.com

Bulk Send to CaseMap Feature and Concordance 2007

CaseMap 7 has new infrastructure that will allow other programs that have the “Send to CaseMap” feature to enable a Bulk “Send to CaseMap” wizard. The new Bulk “Send to CaseMap” wizard will allow you to define which fields and data are sent to CaseMap during the Bulk send. 

The newest release of Concordance™ 2007 has the ability to import and link entire document sets from LexisNexis® Concordance 2007 to CaseMap, increasing attorney productivity. The new wizard enables you to define important coded data fields from Concordance into corresponding fields in CaseMap.

For more information contact: concordancesales@lexisnexis.com or call 1-800-421-TEXT.

What Other Products Have the “Send To CaseMap” Feature?

There are actually too many to name here, but we’ll touch on some of the newest integrations in CaseMap 7.  For information regarding these features email us:  casemap.info@lexisnexis.com

Send to CaseMap for Interwoven, Hummingbird® and WORLDOX®

Send to CaseMap plug-ins are now available for Interwoven® (iManage®), Hummingbird® and WORLDOX® DMS applications. The Bulk “Send to CaseMap” feature allows you to send multiple document links and their associated metadata into CaseMap from your DMS in one operation. Past versions of the DMS plug-in allow only one document to be linked at a time. This new feature takes advantage of support for bulk sends to CaseMap that was added as part of CaseMap 7. As such, you need CaseMap 7 installed to take advantage of this feature.

Another new batch operation will get the latest copies of all of the DMS documents that you have linked to your CaseMap case. The copies will be downloaded to your local computer in one simple step. The documents will then be available for you to open from CaseMap once you are out of the office and away from your DMS server.

LexisNexis® Time Matters® 8

Time Matters® 8.0 and Billing Matters® 8.0, the practice management and billing software packages link directly to CaseMap. This new link allows attorneys to send matters, contacts, research information and more for trial preparation and analysis. The “Send to CaseMap” button can be added to all Time Matters record types (excluding Billing records), and enables users to send the record to CaseMap.

LexisNexis® CourtLink®

CourtLink® proceedings can now be sent to CaseMap as an object or a fact and then linked back to CourtLink. There are four options:

• Highlight pleading or other text in a docket and send it to CaseMap as a Fact.
• Select a checkbox for a pleading or other action and send the Pleading and the full docket to CaseMap as Objects.
• Right-click anywhere on a docket and send it to CaseMap as an Object.
• Use the new Bulk Send to CaseMap Wizard—check a set of pleadings or the whole docket, right-click and set them all up as Objects in CaseMap with links back to CourtLink.

You’ll also want to check out the CourtLink integration to our TimeMap® timeline graphing tool. TimeMap clients can subscribe to CourtLink and send the dates and text from a selected set of pleadings to a TimeMap timeline, displaying them chronologically as Facts.

The new "Send to TimeMap" button appears in dockets for courts in US District Civil, Criminal, Bankruptcy, the Circuit Courts of Appeals, and Delaware Chancery. NOTE: Requires TimeMap 4.1

Adobe® Acrobat® 8

Enhancements to Adobe Acrobat 8 are compatible with CaseMap 7. Our new CaseMap Acrobat Plus Plug-in enables CaseMap 7 to recognize Acrobat 8 Bates Stamps and import them into CaseMap just like our own PDF Bates Stamper.

New Products: CaseMap® Report Publisher and CaseMap® Patent Case Assessment Reports

CaseMap Report Publisher

The CaseMap Report Publisher is now available for clients with CaseMap 5, 6 or 7. The newest tool from LexisNexis allows for the sharing of information across teams and with clients. The CaseMap Report Publisher can generate, publish and regularly update Web pages containing case analysis reports from CaseMap on a schedule of your choosing. View a sample here.

Web pages can be used as is to create a case-specific extranet or intranet site or to dramatically enhance preexisting extranet or intranet sites. See a complete tutorial here.
