If you are a laptop user that has Amicus Attorney Small Firm Edition, V, or V+, you can take your Amicus with you when you leave the office. While you are at your office, you can go to Office –> Go Offline. You will have the option of copying your document templates down for use. If you do not use Office –> Go Offline and bring your laptop away from the office, you will still be offline.
When you get back to the office you simply choose Go Online and your Amicus Database will sync with the database on your firm’s server. If Amicus asks you to, merge all data. Sometimes this process can take an hour long and Not Responding does not mean that Amicus is not doing anything.
Troubleshooting
Sometimes you cannot go online because Amicus tell you a record is locked or in use by someone. If that happens, everyone needs to exit Amicus. Someone at your firm needs to open up Amicus Administrator and go to Users –> Recovery Functions –> Unlock All Data.
After this process runs, you should be able to get back into Amicus and go online.
Is Amicus 08 any quicker? I know the backend was rebuilt, but does it translate to any gains here?
