While most firms have automated large parts of their practice, payments remain one of the last manual holdouts—making modern law firm billing software with autopay functionality essential for maintaining steady cash flow.
What Are the Major Changes to Tabs3 Cloud?
The latest Tabs3 Cloud updates comprise six core changes to Tabs3 Connect, which gives Tabs3 Cloud users browser access to key daily work.
- A redesigned interface across desktop, tablet, and phone
- A new dashboard with calendar, tasks, and hours recap
- Configurable lists with filtering, sorting, and column selection
- Saved Views for personal or firm-shared work.
- Better ways to manage matter-specific fee information and custom columns
- Updated time entry through a browser
Tabs3 Cloud customers receive these updates at no additional cost or administrative setup.
The Attorney Dashboard Starts With Your Firm’s Full Day in View
Every extra login, screen, and handoff takes attention away from clients and creates another opportunity for a task, matter detail, or billable entry to wait.
The new Attorney Dashboard brings your firm’s calendar, open tasks, and workload into one view, giving attorneys a clear place to begin.
At login, the dashboard brings three pieces of information into one view:
- Today’s calendar: See the day’s commitments from the homepage.
- Open tasks: Review open responsibilities and add a task from the same starting point.
- Recorded hours: See time entries as part of the day’s picture, which can expose time that still needs attention before memory becomes part of the billing process.
A clear view of priorities, tasks, and time reduces missed work, strengthens handoffs, and tightens the link between attorney activity and recorded revenue.
Full-Featured Lists Give Users More Control Over Information
Different roles ask different questions of the same data.
An attorney may care about one set of fields. An administrator may need another. A legal assistant may need a list of follow-up work.
Full-Featured Lists give attorneys and staff stronger control over how this information appears.
Saved Views Remove the Need for Repeated Configuration
Saved Views support two models:
- Personal Views: A user creates a configuration for individual work.
- Firm-Shared Views: A firm creates a view that multiple users can access.
Personal Views preserve individual workflows; Firm-Shared Views create consistency where the process calls for it.
Teams spend less time sorting through irrelevant fields and repeated setup, handoffs carry stronger context, and the firm gains a clearer path from information to action across matters, client service, and billing.
Matter Manager Adds Matter-Level Fee Detail
Firm-wide lists of fee records add complexity and make reviews harder than necessary.
The Matter Manager narrows fee entries and lets users choose the columns that support the question under review. That tighter context strengthens preparation, reduces searching, and gives attorneys and staff a clearer foundation for billing questions and client conversations.
Matching the screen to the matter also makes fee discussions easier to explain and defend.
Start Your Workday With Precision and Accuracy
Good systems disappear into the rhythm of the work.
If Tabs3 Cloud is new to your firm, Tabs3 Connect cuts the extra steps that separate client work from follow-up and time capture. Bring structure to the moments between decisions without adding another process for your team to manage. See how the Tabs3 suite reduces friction between attorney work, matter context, and billing.
