When you start ContactsLaw, you arrive at the portal. This is a set of screens that are customised and tailored to your personal member profile.
 
If there have been any recent announcements or software updates, you will see the Today tab page. You can read the announcements and version notes from here.
 
If nothing has changed since the last time you used ContactsLaw, you will see the Task list. This is a list of tasks that represent your workload. You can also use the task list to supervise the progress of your subordinates, create new tasks for yourself or other members and view upcoming tasks.
 
The Activities tab allows you to view the time and fixed charges you have recorded over a given period of time. It also serves as a handy mechanism to break down your day, enter any missing entries and tidy up existing records.
 
File lists show a summary of your active files, as well as your personal aged debtors. It also serves as a convenient entry-point for billing.
 
On the Documents tab, you'll find a list of uncatalogued/unclassified documents for which you are responsible. You should try to keep this list as small as possible.
 
Performance contains a series of reports that assist in evaluating your performance within The Practice.
 
Using the Profile tab, you can view a summary of the information stored against your member profile and update your preferred name formats and electronic signature. You can also maintain your CPD requirements and log here.
 
The Payroll tab displays your wages, superannuation and leave. It serves as an electronic payslip and group certificate.
