MatterMojo® introduces a new time recording capability for UK & USA markets

LONDON 13 October 2015 – Ad Coelum Technology Limited, a legal software business focused on making lawyers more productive through enjoyable technology, today announced that it has built a new time recording capability in MatterMojo featuring common UTBMS code sets for phases, tasks and activities.

MatterMojo is an affordable cloud-based matter management system which allows law firms to manage clients, matters, inception and risk via a simple but elegant portal. It also has contact and task management and integrates with key document management providers.

Compliant with Jackson UTBMS litigation J-Codes and ABA litigation Codes (among others), the product allows users to quickly and easily record time entries against matters whilst ensuring the necessary phase, task and activity codes are also captured correctly. Time entries are summarised through easy to read time tiles on the MatterMojo user/matter dashboards and an export feature allows matter time reports to be exported to excel.

Andy Ellis of Practico Cost Lawyers, a MatterMojo customer and member of the Hutton Committee, volunteered time to the MatterMojo development team to help steer product design and development. Andy commented “It has been very refreshing to have a constructive dialogue with MatterMojo who clearly see the direction of travel with costs reporting standards and are working to provide a clean and affordable solution”.

Tim Cheadle, CEO, commented “Although much has been spoken about the billable hour, lawyers will continue to record time if only to help reconcile costs. Responding to customer requests has prompted us to build this new capability with the help of experts from the legal market”.

Ad Coelum Technology continues to build out its product and in the short term it will be focusing on user requested enhancements and client collaboration.

MatterMojo® for Office 365 integrates with Groups

LONDON, 30 September 2015 – Ad Coelum Technology Limited, a legal software business focused on making lawyers more productive through enjoyable technology, today announced that it has successfully integrated its client and matter management offering with Microsoft Office 365 Groups.

MatterMojo for Office 365, which is targeted at existing users of Microsoft Office 365, offers a seamless single sign-on experience providing integrated access to all the productivity features available across both products. MatterMojo for Office 365 is an affordable cloud-based matter management system which allows law firms to manage clients, matters, inception and risk via a simple but elegant portal. It also has contact and task management and integrates with key document management providers. Lawyers can enjoy all the benefits of Office 365 whilst managing their clients and matters efficiently.

Office 365 Groups brings together People, Conversations, Calendars and Files across Office 365. By linking together email conversations, file storage, and calendar event management, Groups create an integrated experience for teams to focus on group activity. Groups can be public to enable information sharing within your company, or private for teams that deal with sensitive subjects. Groups are also an integral part of Outlook 2016 and a number of apps have been released in recent weeks to enable Group collaboration on smartphones.

The integration uses MatterMojo’s new Connected App capability to link clients and matters to Groups. Once linked, users can access the Group’s OneDrive file store directly from within MatterMojo, providing native visibility of client and matter documents. This integrated experience will be extended over the coming months to include other Group features such as calendar and conversations, enhancing the collaboration capability even further.

Tim Cheadle, CEO, commented “The idea of a group as a shared workspace for email, conversations, files, and calendar events where group members can conveniently collaborate and quickly get stuff done fits perfectly with MatterMojo. As a SaaS vendor building in the Microsoft Cloud, we share a common technology platform with Office 365 which allows us to provide fully integrated experiences very quickly”.

Ad Coelum Technology continues to build out its product and in the short term it will be focusing on user requested enhancements, time recording and client collaboration.

MatterMojo getting started guide

Accessing MatterMojo from within Office 365 (Office 365 Users Only)

MatterMojo for Office 365 provides a quick access link for Office 365 in the navigation menu allowing you to easily hop over to Office 365 from within MatterMojo.

The reverse is also possible, but requires each user to add MatterMojo to their Office 365 'Apps launcher' menu. This makes for a more integrated user experience and only takes a second...

1. Once you have signed into MatterMojo at least once, open the apps selection window in Office 365 using the top left navigation button (the one with the nine squares) in Office 365 and click on 'My apps'.


2. From the apps list click on the three dots next to MatterMojo and select 'Pin to app launcher'


3. You can now access MatterMojo quickly and easily from the apps launcher as shown below!


MatterMojo Admin Settings

Before you start using MatterMojo there are a couple of useful administration settings that should be configured based on your law firm's needs. These settings are only available to MatterMojo administrators (you are automatically an administrator if you are the one who signed-up!).

Practice Areas and Work Types

To setup the different categories of work carried out by your organisation, select the 'Configuration' option from the Admin area. This will default to the Practice Area screen where you can add new practice areas and associated work types. This is a category/sub-category structure allowing matters to be categorised and filtered.

To create new practice areas hit the create (plus) button in the 'Practice Areas' header. You can then create work types for that practice area by ensuring it is highlighted and then hitting create (plus) in the 'Work Types' header.

You can also choose to add some default practice areas and adjust them accordingly for your needs by hitting the 'Create Defaults' button.


Note: Once a practice area or work type has been used to categorise a matter it cannot be deleted.

Link Types

When creating links between records in MatterMojo it is possible to assign a link type to make the relationship more meaningful. For example, when creating a link from an organisation to an office address, a link type such as 'Registered Office' could be used. 

To create a new link type select the desired link context and hit the create (plus) button in the 'Link Types' header. You can also specify whether you want to allow many links of this type or just one.

The contexts that can be given a link type are as follows:
  • Person - Address
  • Organisation - Address
  • Matter - Private Client Contact
  • Matter - Organisation Client Contact
  • Matter - Party
  • Party - Private Contact
  • Party - Organisation Contact

You can also choose to add some default link types for each type of link and adjust them accordingly for your needs by hitting the 'Create Defaults' button.

Getting the most out of your Office 365 Azure Active Directory

If you already have an Azure subscription for managing your Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) you are ready to sign-up for MatterMojo and use your Office 365 account to sign-in. If not please read on to find out how to prepare your Office 365 account for single sign-on with MatterMojo…

What is Azure AD?

Azure AD is a cloud-based service for managing user access to applications. It is part of the Microsoft Azure cloud platform and underpins a wide range of Microsoft online products, including Office 365.

When you sign up to Office 365 you are asked to create a domain ending in ‘onmicrosoft.com’ e.g. mylawfirm.onmicrosoft.com. Behind the scenes Microsoft is creating an Azure AD for this domain to manage security and access for your instance of Office 365. Every time you sign in to Office 365 you are actually signing into Azure AD which validates your identity and passes this information to Office 365.

Azure AD can also be used to manage access to a wide range of non-Microsoft applications. This is great news for users because they only need to remember one set of credentials and it is great news for administrators because they can control access to thousands of applications from a central place.
This great capability is only available from within the Microsoft Azure portal. Fortunately registration is simple for Office 365 users and only takes a couple of minutes...

Enabling full Azure AD functionality for your Office 365 Instance

1. Log in to Office 365 as an administrator and navigate to the Admin Center (you will need to ask your Office 365 administrator to follow these steps if you are not an administrator yourself).

2. Scroll down to the bottom of the left-hand menu and click on ‘Admin \ Azure AD’



3. This launches a special Microsoft Azure sign-up page where you will need to enter a few details – no credit card is required but you do have to verify you are not a robot by entering a code sent to your mobile phone.


4. Once you have verified your identity you will be taken to the Azure subscriptions page where you will see your new subscription in a pending state.


Once your subscription is ready, click on the 'Portal’ link on the right hand-side to go to a cut-down version of the Azure portal where you can take full advantage of your Azure AD. To access the Azure portal again later the link is https://manage.windowsazure.com.

Now you have enabled Azure AD for your Office 365 account you can use it to sign-up and manage access to MatterMojo and thousands more applications. Head over to the Azure AD Market Place to see this ever growing list of cloud applications that support single sign-on using Azure AD.

That’s it for the sign-up steps! If you face any issues with the steps above or would like more information please contact us at support@mattermojo.com.
