Legal Billing 7
Works with: Intellect 4, Time & Chaos 8 or Chaos Free
Current Version:
7.5.1.8
Release Date:
1/23/2013
|
Legal Billing is a valuable tool for busy lawyers
and other professionals. It tracks billable time, expenses, and payments as well
as offering reports and basic client statements.
Legal Billing 7 can work by itself
as a simple billing package, but can also be used in combination with one of our contact
management programs. ChaosFree is a great choice as it is actually free to use, but our more powerful
Intellect 4 or Time & Chaos 8 programs work well with this version of Legal Billing, too.

Mobile Device Sync Options
For Apple iOS devices such as iPhone, iPad and iPod
Touch, click here for more information.
For Google Android devices from Samsung, HTC, Motorola
and others, click here for more information.
For other devices, fear not, these are not the only two types of phones or mobile
devices that can work with your Chaos data files. Here are the options to consider:
Option 1 - Over-The-Air sync with ChaosHost.com: Most
of smart phones today support Over-The-Air synchronization with Exchange or Corporate
Servers. The key feature your phone must have is support for Exchange ActiveSync.
This would include iOS devices (like iPhone and iPad), Android phones,
Windows Phone, and WebOS devices (like Palm Pre). If you have one of
these phones, take a look at our ChaosHost.com online data hosting service which
also offers an Over-The-Air sync service as an added bonus for subscribers. Here
is a link to our ChaosHost
documentation which discusses the Over-The-Air synchronization.
Option 2 - direct USB sync with CompanionLink: This
method is preferred if you require a direct PC to Phone
sync rather than Over-The-Air, if you have a BlackBerry,
or if you have an previous generation Palm device.
CompanionLink Software has developed powerful synchronization software that can
sync your Chaos Databases with direct USB and Wi-Fi sync. Some users prefer the
extreme security of direct synchronization rather than using an online hosted solution
like ChaosHost or Google. Direct synchronization can also be more accomodating for
extremely large databases. We are excited to have them extend their solutions to
Chaos users!
CompanionLink for Time & Chaos has been updated
to support Intellect 4/Time & Chaos 8/Chaos Free.
Option 3 - Sync with Outlook or Google: If your device
does not support Exchange Over-The-Air synchronization and is not supported by CompanionLink,
try to determine if the phone manufacturer features built in support for synchronization
with Outlook or Google. If so, a final option to consider is using our ChaosSync
for Outlook or Google Updater. These tools can transfer our data to Outlook or Google,
where your phone could get to it too. Both of these tools are listed here on this
Product page.
Theme Editor
Requires: Intellect 4, Time & Chaos 8 or Chaos Free
Current Version:
1.1.0.0
Release Date:
4/8/2013
|
If you like to tweak or customize the look of your software, this tool provides
a color picker to help you change the colors used in a theme for Intellect 4/Chaos
8/Chaos Free.
For best use, you should find the folder where the program is installed and make
a copy of the theme.ini file so you can go back to original if needed. The editor
will also change the current theme you are using, so if you want to make a completely
new theme, you should edit the theme.ini file first to make a copy of an existing
theme but with your new theme name in the brackets at the top of theme section you
are creating. Then when you restart your program, you can pick your new theme name
from the appearance section of the Options before you start the theme editor to
change it up.
There are four fields you might need to edit manually in the .ini file to complete
your look which the theme editor does not currently allow you to change. They are
GradientMirror, GradientMirrorTo, HighlightMirror and HighlightMirrorTo. Generally
speaking, if you get the colors you like with the theme editor, you can then edit
the .ini file to use your Gradient/GradientTo and Highlight/HightlightTo colors
again, but in reverse order to make the mirror effect complete.
Once you have finished editing your theme, you should make another copy of the theme.ini
file, this time so you can put your custom theme file back in place if installing
an updated version of our program resets the themes again. Also, if you think your
theme might be so cool and professional that others might like to use it as well,
you can copy your new theme settings from the .ini file and send it in through the
Contact Us option on this web site. Most submissions won't make the cut, but a few
of the best could make it into a future version of the program...
