Changes Included in W5 Case Version 5.3.28.0

What's New!!

Document Enhancements  

Case Documents – Accessing, Opening, Editing and Saving

Quicker and easier access to edit, download, and save documents from the Documents list using the new Action button.

Document Library

A New button is now available that allows you to create an empty template directly from the Document Library.  Just specify the document type and then press the New button to have W5 create a blank template for you.

RPX Template Format

RPX Templates can be used to create Enhanced document templates or Custom report templates that allow for precise placement capability for text and fields.  This can be very useful for preprinted forms.

Emailing Documents

When emailing or saving a document, W5 will now name the resulting document according to the Document Reference, not the internal Document path.

Saving Vouchers to Files

W5 can now save system created Vouchers to a File using an Action Trigger configuration.

Contact us via the Support portal for assistance in setting this up.

Batch Document Printing - Office Filtering

W5 now offers office selection and filtering when batch printing. 

Notifications

Outbound Voice Calling

Using Twilio.com, W5 can now offer automated voice call capabilities.

This can be used to contact any phone number.  For instance, make a voice call to Claimants for appointment reminders.

Contact us via the Support portal for assistance in setting this up.

* A Twilio account is required.  The cost for making voice calls is billed directly to you from Twilio.

Reporting Enhancements

Reports Tab

The Standard and Custom Reports now show on their own Reports tab within W5.  With this enhancement, both standard and custom reports have been segmented to keep the reports contained and easily accessed and allow any of them to be added as a shortcut to the quick access bar. Use the Refresh Reports button to refresh the list as permissions to new reports are granted.

Standard and Custom report categories are listed for each.

Other Enhancements 

Within a Custom report, simpler criteria selection per field can be added.

W5 Desktop Error Logging

Errors will now be logged on user desktops, an additional resource for troubleshooting
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\W5\logs – named for the date the incident occurred on - user to email to us

New W5 Client Portal
