Release Date: August 22, 2025

✨ New Features

Feature Request: Zip-archive documents by tag (folder) or selection #1304

File Manager – Document Archiving

Zip-archive documents by Tag (Folder) or selection.
Introduced a new File Archive option in the File Manager header.
Clicking the File Archive button provides two options:
- Select Files – Enables file selection mode:
  - Checkboxes appear next to documents so users can manually select files.
  - Two new action buttons are displayed in the header:
    - Generate Archive – Creates a ZIP file of the selected documents.
    - Cancel – Exits file selection mode without generating an archive.
- All Documents – Archives all documents in the matter (by Tag/Folder) into a single ZIP file.
By default, the generated archive name is set to the Matter Name, but users can rename it in the save dialog.
File size handling:
- If the archive size is ≤ 25 MB, the native system save dialog (Windows/Mac) is displayed immediately.
- If the archive size is > 25 MB, a notification is shown: “Archive processing. You will receive a memo when it is ready.” The completed archive is delivered via the Memos section once processing finishes.
Duplicate filename handling in archives:
- When multiple documents with the same filename are included in the archive, each file is retained without overwriting.
- Files are automatically renamed in sequence inside the ZIP (e.g., doc.docx, doc (2).docx, doc (3).docx).

File Manager – File Download Capitalization

Preserve capitalization in downloaded files.
Enhanced file download functionality to ensure capitalization is preserved across all file types.
Previously, only .docx files retained capitalization in their names, while others defaulted to lowercase.
With this update:
- Capitalization in file names (e.g., CaseSummary, ImportantNotes) is maintained when downloading.
- Underscores in file names continue to be supported.
This change aligns file naming consistency with customer expectations and ensures clarity where capitalization is used for emphasis.

Feature Request: Introduce Theme in High Contrast mode and Dark mode #1205

Look & Feel – Theme Options

Introduced Dark Mode and High Contrast Mode.
Added two new themes, Dark and High Contrast, to the My Settings → Look and Feel → Theme selection dropdown.
Now, three themes are available: Lite (default for all new or first-time login users), Dark, and High Contrast.
Dark Mode:
- Provides a modern, low-light theme that reduces eye strain, especially in dim environments.
- Offers an alternative aesthetic with darker backgrounds and lighter text, improving readability for users who prefer reduced screen glare.
High Contrast Mode:
- Designed for accessibility, this theme applies sharp contrasts between text, icons, and backgrounds.
- Ensures users with visual impairments or sensitivity can navigate the application more comfortably.
- Improves visibility of UI components, highlights, and action buttons, reducing the likelihood of missed information.
When switching themes:
- Users are prompted: “Updating your theme will require a page reload.”
- After reload, the entire FluentCase web app interface reflects the selected theme.
The selected theme is saved as the user’s preference. On the next login, the previously chosen theme will automatically be applied.

File Manager & JET Files – Document Search and Filter

Added search/filter functionality to document lists.
Introduced a new “Filter by Document Name” search bar in both File Manager and JET Files → Matter Documents section.
Key functionalities include:
- Real-time filtering – Matching documents and folders are displayed as the user types.
- Case-insensitive search – Works with both uppercase and lowercase input.
- File extension filtering – Users can search by file type (e.g., .pdf, .docx) to narrow down results.
- Folder-aware search – When searching for a folder name, the folder appears expanded with all its contained documents visible.
- Clear filter options – Users can remove search terms by:
  - Deleting characters with Backspace, or
  - Using Ctrl + A → Delete/Backspace keyboard shortcuts.
- Dynamic counts – After a search, the header updates to show the filtered folder and file counts.
This feature improves document discoverability and navigation, allowing users to quickly locate relevant files in large document sets.

Copy Service Order: Text entry field for adding history entry/message in the history table #959

Copy Service Order – Vendor Messaging in History

Added text entry field for history notes.
A new “Add Note” feature has been implemented in the History section of Open Orders for Copy Service Orders.
Functionality details:
- When a vendor is viewing an open order, an Add Note button is displayed in the History section.
- On clicking Add Note, an input field appears with Save and Cancel options.
- Vendors can type a note and click Save to log the entry into the History table.
- Clicking Cancel closes the input field without saving.
- The feature is restricted to vendors only and is not available to end users.
- For Fulfilled Orders, the History table remains read-only, and the Add Note button is not shown.
This enhancement improves communication and transparency by allowing vendors to directly document relevant updates in the order’s history while maintaining a clear separation between open and fulfilled orders.

Message Compose: Provide some “auto-fill” options for common Matter-specific data points to include in the message body, e.g., Caption/Name, ADJ #, DOI, Carrier Claim Number #898

Message Compose – Auto-fill Subject Line with Matter Information

Added subject line auto-fill options for new messages.
Implemented the ability to automatically include Matter-specific details in the subject line when composing a new message.
A new dropdown preference is available under My Settings → Composing Messages, with the following options:
- Set subject line to Matter Name
- Set subject line to Carrier Claim Number(s)
- Set subject line to Court Case Number(s)
- Do not set subject line
Functionality details:
- When a user selects a preference (e.g., Set subject line to Matter Name) and then composes a new message, selecting a Matter will automatically populate the subject line with the chosen Matter detail.
- Works consistently for all three auto-fill options.
- If the user preference is set to “Do not set subject line”, the subject remains blank when composing a new message, and the user must enter it manually.
This feature provides greater efficiency and consistency when drafting messages, reducing manual entry and ensuring key Matter data is included in communications.

Feature request: Make clicking phone numbers and emails intentional and consistent. #1309

Parties & Matter Dashboard – Phone Numbers and Emails

Consistent and intentional interaction with phone numbers and emails.
Improved the behavior of phone numbers and email addresses across the application to ensure consistency and clarity.
Enhancements include:

- Clicking on a phone number now consistently routes to the external phone application (where supported).
- Clicking on an email address opens a new draft message page.
- The interaction behavior is now uniform across all modules (Parties list and Matter Dashboard), preventing confusion.
These changes make interactions more intentional and help users understand the action triggered when clicking on phone numbers or emails.

Previously, activities could only be backdated up to one week. Users can now backdate activities up to three years, providing greater flexibility for historical record-keeping.

Release Notes - Version 1.0.24

Release Date: June 30, 2025

✨ New Features

We have introduced a new Dictation (Speech Recognition) feature across all Rich Text Editor fields in the application to enhance accessibility and ease of content entry.

Functionality :

A microphone button is now available in all Rich Text Editors.
Users can click the mic icon to activate speech recognition.
Upon clicking, the browser will prompt for microphone permission, which the user must allow manually.
Once activated:
- The microphone icon turns orange.
- As the user speaks, their voice is transcribed into text in real-time within the editor.
Users can freely edit the text (add, delete, or modify) during or after dictation.
To stop dictation, the user must click the active microphone button again. This deactivates speech recognition, and no further voice input will be captured.
When clicking on cancel or closing the editor, dictation will be turned off automatically.

Feature: Calendar – Add “Duration” Widget in Event Create/Edit

A new “Duration” widget has been introduced in the Event Create/Edit form to simplify event scheduling and offer more flexibility when setting event timings.

By default, the Duration is set to 1 hour. Users can select from predefined options:
- 30 minutes
- 1 hour
- 2 hours
- 4 hours
- 8 hours
Below the Duration field, a “Show End Date” clickable label is displayed.
- Clicking it replaces the Duration field with the End Date/Time input.
- The End Date/Time is auto-calculated based on the selected duration, but users can also edit it manually.
If the “All Day Event” checkbox is selected:
- The Duration/End Date field is hidden, as it is not applicable.
- When the checkbox is unchecked, the field reappears with the default 1-hour duration preselected.
