Lesson #93
DIY in your RB
Import data, create forms and labels, perform custom data searches, and more in this versatile toolkit. In this module, you can:
- Import existing client and resource information from other applications into RB.
- Quickly update different clients, jobs, resources, and locations at the same time.
- Use tags (keywords or phrases) to organize entities like clients or resources. Send emails or regular mail to all entities tagged the same.
- Create forms and letters using the set of customizable templates in a word processor with mail merge that automatically incorporates your RB data.
- Modify default label templates and create new ones.
- Search notes globally in RB Notes Logs.
- Monitor repository usage by in-house staff as well as by clients and resources via RB Connect as required by general security rules for business applications.
- Save copies of your RB database to your hard drive/server.
- View automatic emails sent from your RB.
- Perform custom searches of your RB database, and create your own reports from the results. (If you require more complex reports from RB, we offer a plug-in called Data Reader and custom programming if you would like OMTI to create something for you. )
- Import RB entities, invoices, paychecks, and payment transactions into QuickBooks.
- Send invitations to reporters to join ReporterBase.com and grant you proxy to apply their digital signatures to RB-PDF Transcripts. Then monitor your use of their signatures.
- Find other court reporting agencies and related businesses to share work with.
