New "Tracker Filer" available - great new feature!

The latest version of Tracker Filer is now available for download.

Tracker Filer is an automatic link between your email system and your Alpha Tracker document folders - it is utter genius, even if we say so ourselves!

Tracker Filer has always read the subject line and body of emails to look for quote references or project numbers, but it now also looks in the attachment filenames too - really useful if you're forwarding on a quote, for example, and you forget to put the reference in the email itself.

Here is an example email with a quote attached:

I've cc'd the special Tracker Filer email address as usual (1) but haven't put the quotation reference anywhere in the email itself.  Previously, this would have caused Tracker Filer a problem.  Not now! The updated Tracker Filer can now read the attachment filename (2) and see that the quote is BQ21-0104 and file the email and attachment correctly for you.

If you'd like help to update your system, please do get in touch.

New Alpha Tracker water clients come "on stream"

Apologies for the rubbish water joke - on stream for goodness sake! I could have said "on board" but that would have been equally bad!

Water NSW are the latest Alpha Tracker users

It's great to see more water companies using Alpha Tracker.  Water NSW is the latest to join us.  Judy has just started their remote training and we're really looking forward to them getting fully up-to-speed.

Welcome on board, Water NSW! Oh dear, I did it again...

New "Download" option for Alpha Legal forms

We've added an extra option to enable you to export forms from Alpha Legal.  

This means you now have 3 export choices - you can send a form to Countrywide Legacy, you can send it to Legacy Legal, or - new - you can download straight to your device (PC, laptop, tablet or mobile).

Here's the new menu option:

New "Download Files" option on an Alpha Legal form

One word of warning - do take care if the information you are downloading is sensitive or private - once you've downloaded it to your device, it is outside of the secure Alpha Legal environment.
