My dates gathers what your papers say is going to happen: an insurance renewal, the deadline on a fine, the end of a rental contract. Each date carries the sentence of the paper it comes from, and View the paper opens the paper at that page.
An important date can cost money or a right. That is why JUDLEX decides none of them for you. It reads the date, shows it to you and you confirm it.
How dates come in
Read from your papers. With Find dates in my papers, JUDLEX tells you how many pages are going to your provider's artificial intelligence, and you decide with Go ahead. Each date is then checked against its sentence. If it is not in that sentence, it is not kept. If there are no new papers with dates, it says so and spends nothing.
Written by you. In the box at the top you type, for example, “Car service” or “Bank appointment”, set the day and click Add. What you write yourself is already confirmed.
The ones that repeat. What repeats opens the list of what comes back every year or every month. If a date read from a paper and already confirmed looks like it repeats, such as an insurance policy, JUDLEX asks Does it repeat every year? and Repeat every year records it.
The bands on the screen
Dates are split into bands, according to what is left to do with each one.
To decide, in amber. These came out of a paper and nobody has looked at them. Each one shows its sentence, which paper it is from and its folio. Confirm turns it into a real date. Discard stops it counting. Those left undecided for more than a month fold into a single line, but they still count in the number at the top.
Already passed and still unresolved, in red. These are dates that have already arrived. Say whether it was done with It is done, or that it was not needed with Not needed, and they stop showing up here. They are not deleted.
What's coming: confirmed dates, from the nearest to the furthest, with the days left. If a person confirmed it, their name appears.
Already settled: what you marked as done or as not needed. Put it back as pending returns it to its place.
No date yet: a deadline that exists, because the paper says so, but whose day nobody has counted. This is the band most worth emptying.
How a deadline is counted
A paper can say “you have ten days to object” without saying which day that is. That deadline lands in No date yet, and Set a date opens the sheet Count the deadline. JUDLEX does not know when you were notified or which days are holidays where you live. So it does the count in front of you, and you confirm it.
On the sheet you fill in:
Date of service: the day you were notified. That day is not counted; the deadline starts the next day.
Term: the number and its unit, which can be working days, calendar days or months.
How the days are counted: the rules that apply. If there is only one, it is the one for deadlines with public authorities.
Calendar being applied: the holidays where you live. JUDLEX does not check that they are correct, and you add your city's in Settings. If none is loaded, the sheet warns you in amber: it will only skip weekends.
The notification date, the term and how the days are counted are not filled in beforehand. You enter them. The calendar is pre-selected with the country and region in your holder details, when their holidays are loaded. Once everything is filled in, the sheet shows Falls due on and the day, and below it Days that did not count, with each skipped day and its reason. You can check the whole count.
The button is I confirm it, and it only works if your name is in your holder details, because the date is signed: “Date calculated by” and your name. When you confirm, the date moves to What's coming and goes into the diary. With View the count you can reopen the sheet at any time.
If you would rather count the deadline yourself, Write it by hand lets you enter the date directly.
Reminders
When JUDLEX starts, and once a day after that, it looks at which confirmed dates fall due in the next seven days. If there are any, it tells you in the bell, with the name of each one inside the application. It also reminds you of dates read from your papers that are waiting for you to check them.
Reminders for one section reach you even when you are working in the other. A firm deadline is not missed because you are in Personal, and an insurance renewal is not missed because you are in the firm. What goes outside the application, in the system notice, carries no names and only announces dates that someone confirmed.
Dates and reminders in the Personal section are part of the base: no extensions are needed. The Correspondence and filings extension works on the dates and deadlines of the Professional section, the firm's, and it is the one that brings email, to Personal as well. It is described in Correspondence and filings.
Where to go next
My papers: where the dates come from.
My letters: how to prepare the letter or claim that a date calls for.
Reports: what is pending with the authorities.
