Not all web browsers display the scroll bar on text boxes by default, Internet Explorer is one of the ones that do.


We are adding a command to those big text boxes which will hide the scroll bar until you have typed more text than the screen can display, then the bar will appear for your use.


Not a real bell ringer of a change, but one you should be aware of so it does not catch you by surprise.

Question From Customer:


I am new - have just been added to the system. When I try to do a quick find or a search, I am restricted to only assigned matters. I am supposed to see all the matters we have in the system. How can we turn the "assigned" setting off?


Two things can effect what is returned to you when you use the Quick Find feature in LAWTRAC.


First is an option you can set in your My Matters screen. The check-box 'Only Include My Assignments' will filter out all the 'noise' of matters you are not assigned to when using the quick find. You really do want this turned on if you are in a company with a large legal department with a lot of open matter records. You can view more information about the function by CLICKING HERE.




Second, the site administrator can restrict your permissions to only return matter which you are assigned. This is more a security setting than a large-data set filer.

I don't know about you guys but these darn little "accelerators" that show up when you highlight text in an web browser page drive me up a wall.


Here is how to turn them off:

1. Start Internet Explorer 8
2. Click Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced
3. Then un-check the box for Display Accelerator button on selection, under Browsing
4. Click Apply and OK

Hope that helps.
