Adding Attachments from Time Matters documents

This lesson will show you how to use the TM Add Attachment and the open directory to add many documents

Use the TM Add Attachment in Outlook

Use_the_tm_add_attachment_in_outlook

1. In Outlook select the Time Matters add in (if you are on Outlook 2003 it is a toolbar)
2. Click TM Add Attachment

Find the document

Find_the_document

1. Many times you are emailing a recent document. Use your Quicktabs to help!!
2. Find the document and double-click

What if it is not a recent document

What_if_it_is_not_a_recent_document

1. Click the search icon and the combined search will appear
2. Narrow your search using the Matter, cdoes and/or dates
3. Don't forget the text search of the descriptions.

Go directly to the document

Go_directly_to_the_document

In this example we want to attach the Motion for Costs on the Barry Able matter. By using the power of the search we found the exact document quickly.

What would happen if there were several motions for costs? They all would be listed

But I need to add many documents to the email

But_i_need_to_add_many_documents_to_the_email

The TM Add attachment only lets you add one document at a time. To add many you have to use the options built into Outlook or Windows Explorer

Adding Multiple Attachments Option 1 - from the TM Add Attachment screens in Outlook

Adding_multiple_attachments_option_1_-_from_the_tm_add_attachment_screens_in_outlook

1. Find one of the documents you need to attach
2. Use the Change record button

Document form - Open containing folder

Document_form_-_open_containing_folder

1. With the document form open, use the Open Containing Folder icon

Highlight and drag and drop onto the Email

Highlight_and_drag_and_drop_onto_the_email

Highlight the ones that you need and drag and drop them onto the email you have started. The attachments may not appear immediately,if they do not - cancel out of the TM Add Attachment.

NOTES:
To highlight all of the documents in a folder - Ctrl-A.
To select multiples you can hold down control and click multiple documents

Documents Attached

Documents_attached

Adding mutiple Attachments Option 2 - from the Matter

Adding_mutiple_attachments_option_2_-_from_the_matter

1. From the documents powerview
2. Click the directory icon

NOTE:
Your firm may have 2 directory icons. The additional icon is for historical documents - documents before Time Matters

You may have to navigate to sub folders

You_may_have_to_navigate_to_sub_folders

In this example we are looking for the pleadings folder

Highlight the documents and drag and drop on the email

Highlight_the_documents_and_drag_and_drop_on_the_email

Highlight all of the documents that you want to attach to the email and drag and drop them on the Outlook Email.

You can also right click and send to Mail recipient

You_can_also_right_click_and_send_to_mail_recipient

This will open a new Email with the attachments. The benefit of this approach is the names of the documents will be listed in the email

Right click send to results

Right_click_send_to_results

As you can see, the subject automatically includes the names of the documents and they are also listed in the body of the email.

Remember to save the sent email
