for criminal filings, other litigation, conflicts etc

Directory of Online Resources

2011-06-06T19:55:32Z

A Librarian asked if a Directory of Online Resources could be provided by highest authority to least highest authority, as well as alphabetical. Same librarian asked for Bookmarks or Table of Contents in same document.

"Follow" objects on Lexis.com

2011-06-06T19:53:02Z

As in a Salesforce.com/Twitter/Facebook manner, be able to click a button to "follow" any object on Lexis for example: follow a monthly newsletter, any time its updated you get an alert or email in your My Lexis Newsfeed or email or however you want to set it up. Would work for pubs as they get updated, practitioners attention would be drawn to changes. Be able to "Favorite" a source like in Tax Center. Also be able to see in a firms subscription, other users that have also favorited or used a source by popularity.

Hotdocs/LexisOne: change manual renewal to automated

2011-05-11T18:06:16Z

Currently the HotDocs/LexisOne renewal process is manual meaning that someone in Albany has to flip a switch. I think that you should convert this to an automated process so that the task is completed as soon as the check is received.

PowerInvoice:Out of Contract Usuage

2011-05-11T18:03:59Z

I would like to be able to get an idea of what people are using out of contract. I know my reps can pull those reports, but they don't always get an immediate response. I think adding the information to PowerInvoice would be really useful.

A "Community" for consumer financial services

2011-02-15T02:57:00Z

The real estate law community is great but excludes so many vital areas of consumer finance, such as credit cards, student loans, auto and boat loans, and other types of consumer credit. With the focus on emerging from the housing and financial crisis, this area warrants its own Lexis "Community." !!!

Allow customization of File & Serve Alert Subject Lines

2011-02-08T18:22:58Z

Now when I receive the result of an alert, it has something like: ALERT: Transaction 35807427 for a subject line. This is not very helpful when I am running several alerts for many attorneys. I would like to be able to customize the subject line to suit my needs. This would also help attorneys scan through results in their email more quickly.

Create a tool for analyzing common subject terms to refine Publisher & Lexis Alerts

2011-02-03T20:20:00Z

To help us tweak Publisher and Lexis news Alerts, give us a tool to analyze the common and most frequent subject terms to be able to refine our alerts. After creating a Publisher or Lexis Alert and choosing relevant articles for publication, it would be great to have the ability to run an analysis on the SmartIndexing terms in the relevant hits to understand what are the best terms to use to tighten the search. For example, if I had 10 articles on a topic like "diversity in law firms," and the analysis tool showed me that 95% of the articles used a certain subject term, I could make sure to adjust my search to include that subject term. Currently, I do this manually, scanning through the subject terms of the relevant hits I get and then revising my search to add the best, most frequent common terms along with the pre/3 #80plus# search string. An automated tool would help me more easily analyze the most common terms and help me to create more precise news alerts.

Martindale-Hubbell Law Digest

2011-02-01T20:39:00Z

Please start printing the law digest in print again. I understand the costs, but it was really helpful to get the lay of the land for foreign law so that I feel more confident when I go to search on Lexis.

File & Serve: Give Administrators Control over all users/functions including alerts

2011-01-25T18:21:19Z

It would be great if the administrators had the power to delete alerts. It would also be great if an email went out to the recipients saying "the administrator has deleted your alert". Obviously, here we would only do that if requested, but it is important that the firm's administrator have more control over user accounts.

FOCUS for Term Browse

2011-01-18T13:54:00Z

There should be a way for users to decide WHICH term they want to browse through using the lower nav tool bar - perhaps a pop up box which let s them check off the one(s) rather than having to term browse through each hit. (i.e. 36 for discrimin! and 5 for age and the just want to look at age).

File & Serve Help Files

2011-01-05T17:48:00Z

Help files for File & Serve should be more descriptive. For example, this page: http://support.lexisnexis.com/FileAndServe/record.asp?ArticleID=fsa_fileroom_saved_filings does define what a saved transaction is. It would be very helpful if it did.

CC ideas to firms local reps

2011-01-05T17:44:37Z

I think that there should be a way for our reps to be notified when we submit an idea. There could be a checkbox that sends a note to our client manager such as: "this idea was sent to LN via the Ideas and Innovations website by your customer. Please monitor the Ideas and Innovations website for updates on the idea and follow up with your client as necessary" The information should be clear to the client manager where the information is coming from and what client sent it. I think it would improve communication greatly.
