Outcomer for NetDocuments

Your fee earners ask how to do it in NetDocuments. Outcomer shows them.

Fee earners and assistants save, version and file emails in NetDocuments every day. When they are unsure of a step, Outcomer shows it on their screen, the way your firm does it.

After the demo, we’ll set up your department free of charge. A small trial confirms it’s accurate, then a larger trial measures the drop in support queries.

How the free trial works

We check every step works before your staff see it.

Outcomer isn’t a library of ready-made NetDocuments guides. We build your guides from your own procedures, on your own NetDocuments set-up, and test each one before your staff use it.

Training

NetDocuments training that continues on the job

Training covers NetDocuments once. Outcomer answers the questions that come up afterwards, while a fee earner is saving, versioning or filing.

Support questions

Questions your staff ask about NetDocuments

General answers for the standard product. Your own set-up may differ, and that’s what Outcomer follows.

How do I file an email from Outlook?

With ndMail, a filing panel suggests matter locations based on similar emails filed before. Tick the location to file the email; if it isn't listed, type to search for it. Your set-up may differ.

How can I tell if an email has already been filed?

A blue tick appears next to emails already stored in NetDocuments. Colleagues see the same tick, so only one person needs to file a shared email.

Can I file an email as I send it?

Yes, if your firm has turned it on. You can be prompted to choose a filing location for outgoing emails, and the email is filed when it is sent.

Can I drag emails into an Outlook folder to file them?

Yes. An Outlook folder can be mapped to a NetDocuments location. Emails you move into a mapped folder are filed to that location.

How do I save a file from my desktop into NetDocuments?

Drag the file onto the ndOffice Activity Center, or right-click it in File Explorer and choose Save to NetDocuments. Then choose the workspace and fill in the profile.

How do I open a document as a new version?

In the ndOffice Activity Center, right-click the document in your recent or favourite documents. The menu includes options to open it as a new version or as a new document.

Why am I warned that I'm opening an old version?

ndOffice alerts you when you try to open or attach an older or unofficial version. It offers you the latest or official version instead.

How do I find documents I still have checked out?

Run a search for documents checked out by you. You can also look in Recent Documents or the ndOffice Activity Center, and check them in from there. Your set-up may differ.

What happens to edits I make while offline?

When you reconnect, ndOffice checks the document in and uploads it. If someone changed the online copy meanwhile, both versions are kept and you are told about the conflict.

If your fee earners and assistants ask questions like these every week, Outcomer answers them on their own screen, using your own NetDocuments set-up and procedures.

For managers

See where your team needs help.

See which NetDocuments tasks staff ask about most, which procedure answered each question, and whether it was finished or passed to your support desk. Your IT team can export it at any time.

Security

Your client data stays yours.

Outcomer never reads, uses or keeps the data in your systems. It finds each box and button by its label, never what’s typed in it, takes no screenshots, and works from your procedures, not your records.
