The Activity Calendar is used to record and store attorney calendar, time, and billing information. L.A.W.S./Pro automatically displays a calendar of attorney activity for the signed-on attorney (displayed on the following page). To display a calendar for a different attorney, simply select the desired attorney from the attorney selection box. Display other days by selecting the desired date within the displayed calendar, or use the forward or back arrows to change the displayed month.

Multiple blank lines are available at the bottom of the page to enter new transactions. Scheduled appointments for future dates or current the current days time transactions may be recorded on the same page.

There is no need to remember codes when entering transactions -- drop down boxes display all allowable selections. Of course, a known code may be entered bypassing the need for using the drop down boxes. For each transaction, enter the desired client, matter, bill code and description. Bill codes are optional for fee entries. If utilized, the predefined bill code description will be automatically posted to the service description. The service description may be modified as required during the entry of time. If desired, an entry may be marked for reminder several days prior to the scheduled date.

All the current scheduled events and billable time, future events marked for reminder, and past due events not marked as completed or billed, are displayed on the attorneys current day calendar. Non-billable events may be marked as completed which removes them from the list. Billable entries may be classified as "billed" which posts the transaction to the clients work in process account for future billing in addition to marking the event as completed.
