Using FileIT for Additional & More Links
FileIT is a great tool to take the firm’s file system to the next level. FileIT’s primary use is to bring documents not created within TrialWorks and file them into TrialWorks. It also has a built-in feature that allows a user to link documents to existing documents within TrialWorks. This extra layer of filing gives the user a timeline for a particular document.
