February 23, 2004 IncSpot Enhancements
SOP History - We have added a few features to SOP History to help you better manage your litigation.
Search Page:
- Date Range: We have set the default date range to the past three months to save you time and expedite your search. To change the date range, simply click on the calendar icons to select the beginning and ending dates you desire.
- Additional Search Criteria: We added the ability to search on Jurisdiction Filed and First Named Defendant. Coming soon, we will have the ability to search on Nature of Case.
Search Results:
- Sortable Columns - You can now sort your SOP data by any column heading - date served, nature of case, case number - to easily aggregate the data you need to see. Interested in viewing prior service in the same case? Sort by case number. Suspect that a plaintiff sued you in the past? Sort by plaintiff name.
- Search Results Criteria- Forgot your search parameters? Don't worry! When we return your search results, we list your search criteria at the top of the page.
- Counter - Need to know how often you were served last quarter? We total it for you and present it upfront on your search results so you don't have to count.
- One Page - We now present your search results in one scrollable and sortable page - no more back and forth between pages trying to find a transmittal.
- Revised Column Order - To cut down on your need to scroll across the page, we have located more of your critical data to the left, close to your acknowledgement checkbox and the transmittal number. We also added a few columns, such as Jurisdiction Filed.
- Tiered Searching - If your search results in greater than 5000 SOP transmittals, we return the first 5000 and ask whether you want the rest - all it takes is a simple click on "Display All" to display all the search results.
- Transmittal Number - Click on the transmittal number to get to all the details on your Service of Process, as well as and Fed-Ex Tracking information.
- Download to Excel - we've made it easier to use - when you click on it, the data will pop up in Excel format. Please note that is you may need to adjust your settings to see your Excel toolbars (instructions below).
- Full details on each SOP - For clients who receive bulk service of identical pleadings filed on behalf of different plaintiffs ("riders"), we now display each as a separate search result and display the details of each matter.
- New Labels - "State Served" is now "Jurisdiction Served".
Download to Excel - If Excel launches in a browser window without toolbars, please change settings as follows (Windows 2000):
- Access Windows Explorer by right clicking the "Start" icon on your Windows toolbar (bottom left)
- Select 'Tools -> Folder Options'
- Click on the 'File Types' tab
- Select 'XLS Microsoft Excel Worksheet' from the list of Registered file types (near the bottom in alphabetic order)
- Click on the 'Advanced' button and verify under "Details for 'XLS' extension" that Microsoft Excel is the application the will be opened with the file. If not, click on 'Change' and select Microsoft Excel from the list of programs and click on 'OK'.
- In the 'Edit File Type' window, unselect the 'Browse in same window' checkbox
- Click 'OK' and 'Close' in the Folder Options window
- Access SOP History and click 'Download to Excel'
