LATEST DEVELOPMENT RELEASES

If you thought Bundledocs couldn’t get much better then think again. Each month we release awesome new features and enhancements to make your life easier - at least when it comes to document preparation and bundling. Check out what we’ve added this month…


Imanage Integration Gets better & Better

As many of you know Bundledocs is fully integrated with iManage to allow you quickly and easily prepare document bundles, binders and booklets. You can already upload single documents, a range of documents, folders or even complete workspaces.

So what’s new? As an iManage Integration Partner, we have further developed our integration with iManage to allow you sync workspaces from iManage to Bundledocs. Simply right click to reveal the sync function.

If you are not already setup with our integration with iManage then get in touch with our team. Or if you would like to be upgraded to the latest version of our integration then let us know.

Updates to global ordering

We’ve updated our global ordering feature so it’s now possible to apply global ordering to all levels of a bundle. Now you can use ‘Global Numbering’, which applies global ordering to the bundle for the first level of documents only, or our new ‘Use Global Ordering across All Levels', which applies global ordering to all document levels in the bundle.

More updates for bundledocs CUSTOM INDEX

PREVIEW A DOCUMENT USING SPLIT VIEW

On high resolution monitors (HD wide screen displays), you can choose to display the document preview window along side your Bundledocs work area. Using this ‘Split View’, you can view your sections and order of documents in your bundle, on the left; and the document preview window will appear on the right. This is great as you can quickly open and review documents all from the one screen.

Metadata for your Custom Index

In our August Development Roundup we announced that Bundledocs now supports metadata. This is great for your system admin, developer or super user as it allows you to store a dictionary of key/value pairs against bundles, sections and documents which is useful for templates and integrations. This month, we’ve added to this. Now it’s possible to reference Metadata fields at the bundle level in a custom index. Simply reference any Metadata field using the familiar “@” notation and the metadata field value will be pulled into the custom index when generating the bundle.

INTEGRATION NEWS

Bundledocs Integrates with Microsoft Office Word

If you missed our Bundledocs New Feature Release - February 2019 edition, you may not be aware that Bundledocs supports Custom Indexing. This awesome feature allows you to fully customise the look and feel of your index page. You have the complete control and can design it to suit court requirements, your house style - whatever it is.

Whilst developing Custom Indexing, we thought it would be even more helpful to develop an integration with Microsoft Office Word. After-all, that’s where the majority of you will be creating and modifying your custom index. How does it work?

  • Bundledocs Tab. Once you have downloaded the integration, a Bundledocs tab will immediately appear on your MS Word ribbon.

  • Check Out. Simply select ‘Check Out‘ to download a Custom Index from an existing bundle.

  • Check In. Simply select ‘Check In‘ to upload a custom index into an existing bundle. It even works for any Word document you are working on!

Note: Our integration works with Microsoft Office Word 2013+.

Interested to learn more? Get in touch today and we will provide you with the Microsoft Office Word Installer and help get you started.

Bundledocs New Feature Release - July 2019

Who’s ready to discover the latest development releases from Bundledocs? We have everything you need to know so keep on reading…

Bundledocs_Development_Feature_Release_2019_July.png

LATEST DEVELOPMENT RELEASES

This month we’ve launched some great new features to help save you even more time and make document preparation and customising even easier. All features are instantly available to you now, so login to your account and download a copy of our manual to learn more.

MORE OPTIONS FOR YOUR INDEX PAGE

In this month’s release, we’ve added even more customise options for your index page. We received a number of requests from users asking it was possible to prevent a document from appearing on the index page of a bundle? It is now!

We’ve added the ‘Is this document hidden on index pages?’ option to the edit details area for a document. Selecting will remove the item from the index page however the contents of the bundle will still remain in the bundle. Once you mark the document, a red border will appear to the right of your document so you can easily identify these documents on-screen.

Check out our manual for full details on how it works.

DISPLAY ORDER

It’s now possible to choose the ‘display order’ as the document description. This will apply the standard Bundledocs display order to the pages of a document in the final bundle.

DID SOMEONE SAY - QUICK TOGGLE!

We’ve made enhancements to our ‘Quick Toggle’ menu to make it easy to apply settings to a number of documents and all with a single click.

It’s great when you would like to, for example, mark a number of documents as late inserts. You no longer have to individually select each document. Using our Quick Toggle option you can instantly apply the setting to a number of documents at once.

What options have been added to the Quick Toggle menu?

  • Included. The document is removed entirely from the generated bundle.

  • StrikeOut. The document’s content is removed from the bundle. The document appears in the bundle index with a strike-through with standard ordering and page numbering applied.

  • HideOnIndex. The document is removed from the index pages of the bundle. The documents content appears in the body of the bundle.

  • Late Insert. The document adopts a separate page number and order sequence. Which means the existing page numbering and index is not affected.

  • Simple Insert. The document is excluded from all bundle page numbering and ordering. The document appears on the index without page numbering and ordering applied.

Good News for Australian Users.

Bundledocs are thrilled to introduce a new storage location. Australian users now have the option to choose Australia Central and Australia East for the storage of new bundles. Making the change is simple and can be done directly within your account via the ‘Account Settings‘ area. Full details are covered in our manual but if you’re interested to learn more about our storage location options get in touch with our team.


Ready to Strike Out?

We recently received a request from a number of users, asking for the inclusion of a strike-out option. In short, they needed to be able to remove document contents from the generated bundle however the item (document name) still had to remain on the index page with a strike-through.

Your wish is our command! The Strike-Out feature is now available and it’s even supported if you use our Custom Index. How does it work?

  • Mark your Document. Select the ‘Edit Details’ and select the ‘Is this document a strike-out?’ and ‘Update’ to complete.

  • Let’s Generate. When you’re ready to complete your bundle, select ‘Generate’.

  • That’s it. You’re bundle will be instantly available to preview and download.

Bundledocs will then automatically generate the index page and any document that has been selected will have a strike-through. The contents of any marked documents will also be removed from your updated bundle. Perfect!

Why not login to Bundledocs today and give it a try for yourself.


Time Change for documents

It’s now possible to set time information for any uploaded document.

This can be done by editing a document and amending the ‘Display Time’ field.

It works in the same way as amending the document dates for your bundle. In some cases, you may find that the document date - or document time - is incorrect. With Bundledocs, you can now easily amend both the document date and the document time.

Remember our New Feature Release - January 2019 post where we released our Instant Re-Order feature? Just think how amazing this will be when coupled with our latest amend document date/time release. Now every document contained within Bundledocs can be quickly and easily sorted with a single click!


more reasons to love Custom Indexing

Bundledocs Custom Index is here and it keeps getting better and better. Each month our awesome Development team are releasing more and more ways for you to customise your index page so you can create the perfect bundle every time.

This month we’ve added a number of new terms into the mix to make it possible to further customise your bundle numbering. For example, Arabic numbering, Roman numbering and Latin numbering are now possible and you can even include the original section numbering too.

If you’ve yet to discover Bundledocs Custom Index and unsure if it’s for you, then get in touch. We can show you how it works, provide you with helpful user guides and even setup your own custom index for you. No reason not to get in touch!

LATEST VIDEO RELEASES

Missed any of our recent video releases? We’ve gathered them together so you won’t miss a thing. To help get new users up-to-date with how Bundledocs works we released a couple of videos, however if you already use Bundledocs then you will already know this part.

In addition to this we also released a new video all about our amazing Late Inserts feature. If you’ve yet to discover it then you’re in for a treat. Here’s how it works…

 
 

So what is our Late Inserts feature? Late inserts is ideal for anyone that needs to add additional documents to your bundle but doesn’t want to affect the existing numbering sequence.

All you need to do is upload the new document(s) and mark it as a ‘Late Insert’. Bundledocs then takes care of the rest.

Better still there is no need to waste paper re-printing the entire thing. We even have included the option to generate only the late inserts and new index page so you can instantly print or share the changes with others. What could be better?

Check it out: Bundledocs Late Inserts explainer video to see it in action.
