Correspondence and filings handles the firm's email related to your matters. It checks the email accounts you connect, sets aside the messages from your clients and about your matters, and the ones you decide to register go into a register, each with its number, its documents and the date it came in.
How to get there
In the side menu, at the very bottom, Correspondence and filings.
In the top bar, the envelope button, which only appears while the extension is active. An amber dot shows how many entries have a date that could lapse; a blue one, how many emails have come in since you last looked.
The screen has its own side menu. Clients and matters, at the bottom, takes you back to the main screen.
Three groups in the side menu
Mail to decide on: email that JUDLEX has seen in your accounts and of which you see the sender, the subject, the date and the attachment names. This is where you decide which matter each one belongs to and whether to register it: What comes in.
Pending: entries in the register that need something, such as an answer, sending or a receipt: The register.
Register: the Chronology, with everything that has come in and gone out, and the Statistics: The register.
The extension
Correspondence and filings is a paid extension added to your licence. You take it out on the Licence screen, in your account menu: The licence. There is nothing to install: once you take it out, it switches itself on.
It works in both sections, Personal and Professional. In Personal, dates and reminders already come with the base, without the extension: My dates. What follows describes the Professional section.
It covers email and also the firm's dates: The month in Your space, Find dates and the time limits in each case file, the time-limit sheet, clients' Recurring obligations and Deadlines in Settings. The date of each document is not part of it: that belongs to putting the documents in order, and it is always there.
Without the extension
If the firm has never had it, these screens do not appear.
If the firm had it and no longer does, or the licence has expired, nothing it already did is switched off:
New email stops coming in. The email accounts stay stored, with their passwords, and are not checked.
The register stays as it was, up to the last email that came in. You can still read it and export all of it. You reach it through Correspondence and filings in the side menu; an amber notice at the top explains why nothing else can be done.
The dates you already had can still be seen in The month and taken to your calendar, but they cannot be added to or changed.
What you cannot do is connect or check accounts, file or register emails, or use artificial intelligence on them. Actions you cannot use do not appear.
