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

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 The additional icon is for historical documents - documents before Time Matters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
In this example we are looking for the pleadings folder
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
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
As you can see, the subject automatically includes the names of the documents and they are also listed in the body of the email.
