Bundledocs announce software update specific to Scottish Court of Session requirements

We are delighted to announce that we have introduced an update specific to Scottish law firm customers. This latest update supports customers by addressing the requirements set out by the Scottish Court of Session - Scotland's supreme civil court.

Speaking on the latest update, Bundledocs CEO Brian Kenneally commented; “Meeting the needs of our customers is always our top priority. This latest update for Scottish law firms eradicates a previously laborious practice, ensuring that firms remain compliant, whilst saving time and reducing human error.”

The update includes a newly created ‘bates numbering’ feature which will ensure that e-bundles created are fully compliant with court requirements. Those familiar with the process of preparing documents for the Scottish Court of Session, will know that previous methods of creating bundles featuring bates numbering, were error prone and labour intensive. This latest feature assigns the bates number to all files automatically, including when additional files are added throughout all stages.

Now Bundledocs users will benefit from a streamlined process which ensures that firms can save considerable amounts of time while also eliminating manual errors. Bundledocs’ e-bundling solution streamlines the document creation process for lawyers and support staff, creating professional fully indexed, hyperlinked, and sectioned electronic casebooks.

Can I start page numbering for my bundle on a particular number? - Training Tip

Bundledocs_Training_Tip_Image.png

In today's post we will take a closer look at applying page numbering to your bundle. Let's dive right in! 

The first thing to be aware of is that Bundledocs automatically adds numbering to your bundle, helping save you time and effort. This means you don't have to waste countless hour's tirelessly adding page numbering to your bundle. 

Even better, if any changes are needed then you can effortlessly re-number your entire bundle with the click of a button. Simple!

One of the best parts of Bundledocs is that you have complete control of your bundle and can easily amend, change and customize your numbering at any time (and as many times as you need). We offer a range of different ways to customize the automatic numbering. These include: 

  1. Restart Page Numbering: If you have created a bundle with multiple sections then you can choose to restart page numbering at the beginning of each new section.

  2. Include the Section Number: Again if you are creating a multiple section bundle you can choose to prefix the section number to your bundle numbering. For example: A.1 or 1.1

  3. No Numbering: As you know Bundledocs automatically numbers your entire bundle, however in some cases you may prefer to exclude the numbering entirely. In this case you can choose to remove numbering from appearing on your automatic index (did you know we automatically index the bundle too!) or from the pages themselves. This is all possible with the click of a button!

  4. Page Number Position: You can choose where you want your page numbering to appear. For example: Top/Bottom of the page; choose alignment so that it is placed in the centre/right/left.

That's not all. With Bundledocs you also have the ability to apply Bates Numbering. This is particularly helpful for our clients in the U.S. that require this functionality. Better still, bates numbering can also be used if you would like to start your bundle numbering at a particular number. If this sounds like something you may need, then we have detailed just how to do that below. Let's take a look...

  4. Select Generate to complete. A preview window will then appear. If you would like to change anything then simply make the changes/revisions and re-generate.

 

Customizing your bundle numbering really is simple to do. We know that working on large bundles can be complex so we want to make the process of creating bundles simple for you!
