SWITCH TO ELECTRONIC BUNDLES

(This one reduceS paper waste + saveS valuable employee time)

We may be biased here but making the switch to electronic bundles is key to reducing paper waste for your practice. Many practices today still manually prepare bundles which can amount to significant paper waste - as well as wasting valuable employee time.

The process of preparing court document and bundles is a time intensive and laborious task. Making the switch to an electronic bundle tool can significantly reduce the amount of time needed to prepare documents. Tools, like Bundledocs, automatically collate documents into a single PDF file handling indexing, paginating and everything in between. As everything is done electronically, making changes is done instantly and there is no paper waste.

For example, if document arrive at the last minute. Simply upload them into Bundleodcs, re-paginate with a single click and download the updated bundle. Just think how much time, effort and paper could be saved!

ONLY PRINT ONCE

(This one reduces paper waste + saves printing costs)

We know that not all courts accept electronic bundles (yet), but that does not mean you can’t produce bundles using electronic document bundling tools.

In an attempt to reduce paper waste and help save on printing costs such as paper and printer ink, making the move to electronic bundling can be really helpful. Using an electronic bundling tool you can handle all preparation electronically and draft again and again until you get it right. No need to print unnecessarily. Simply wait until you need to have a paper copy of the bundle and print. Only print once - one time, one cost.

Plus, when the courts do come to accept electronic bundles, you’ll be ready!

MORE OPTIONS FOR YOUR INDEX PAGE

We’ve added the ‘Is this document hidden on index pages?’ option to the edit details area for a document. Selecting will remove the item from the index page however the contents of the bundle will still remain in the bundle. Once you mark the document, a red border will appear to the right of your document so you can easily identify these documents on-screen.

Check out our manual for full details on how it works.

DISPLAY ORDER

It’s now possible to choose the ‘display order’ as the document description. This will apply the standard Bundledocs display order to the pages of a document in the final bundle.

DID SOMEONE SAY - QUICK TOGGLE!

We’ve made enhancements to our ‘Quick Toggle’ menu to make it easy to apply settings to a number of documents and all with a single click.

It’s great when you would like to, for example, mark a number of documents as late inserts. You no longer have to individually select each document. Using our Quick Toggle option you can instantly apply the setting to a number of documents at once.

What options have been added to the Quick Toggle menu?

  • Included. The document is removed entirely from the generated bundle.

  • StrikeOut. The document’s content is removed from the bundle. The document appears in the bundle index with a strike-through with standard ordering and page numbering applied.

  • HideOnIndex. The document is removed from the index pages of the bundle. The documents content appears in the body of the bundle.

  • Late Insert. The document adopts a separate page number and order sequence. Which means the existing page numbering and index is not affected.

  • Simple Insert. The document is excluded from all bundle page numbering and ordering. The document appears on the index without page numbering and ordering applied.
