INTRODUCTION ProLaw captures information about all your practice activities to provide quick and easy data analysis in the form of default and customized reports. This book contains over 150 examples of ProLaw’s default reports, including the most popular reports used by attorneys, partners, billing departments, and accounting departments. These examples are just a small subset of the possibilities available to you because ProLaw’s default reports can be run in an almost endless combination of options. You can use the default reports just as they are, or you can customize them to meet your specific needs with ProLaw’s built-in report writer.

BUILT-IN FLEXIBILITY

One reason ProLaw’s default reports are so flexible is the ability to group each report up to four ways. For example, you can run a Fee Analysis report grouped by originating attorney, then department, then professional and finally by client, or you can group the report first by client, then by matter, and finally by professional. The grouping combinations are up to you. Using ProLaw, you can analyze your firm from any angle.

If you want to customize the default reports, ProLaw’s drag-and-drop report design feature lets you modify the formats to suit your needs, or create formats from scratch. Or if you’d rather not do it yourself, you can contact the ProLaw Consulting Group to have custom reports created for you for an additional fee.

EASY TO FIND WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR

To find the information on which you want to report, you can use ProLaw’s natural language queries instead of resorting to more complicated database syntax. ProLaw contains a dictionary of queries that you can use again and again to build a search that narrows your results down to a few specific records or opens your search up to print a firm-wide report. You even can save specific searches you really like to your own personal list of queries.

REPORT VIEWING OPTIONS

There are a number of ways you can view reports in ProLaw. For example, the report examples displayed in this book are shown as screen shots just as you would see when you preview a report on-screen or receive a ProLaw report via e-mail using the Adobe Reader. Alternatively, reports can be saved as .PDF files, and of course, you can print your reports on paper.

for which there is MORE THAN ONE associated Contact.

Print off your envelope report, switch into your Contacts and print off the assembled documents – and you're ready to mail!

FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF CASH FLOW REPORT

The Statement of Cash Flow report shows how changes in balance sheet and income accounts affect cash and cash equivalents, and breaks the analysis down to operating, investing, and financing activities. This report offers Direct and Indirect preparation methods.

Direct Method: The direct method for creating the Statement of Cash Flow report means that you will assign classes to accounts affected by cash receipts and payments. The classes include Operating, Investing, Financing and None. Within that class you will also assign a Direct Grouping to each account. The Direct Grouping describes how the cash affecting this account either came into or out of the firm.

Indirect Method: While the indirect method still requires you to assign classes and groupings to accounts, it uses net-income as a starting point and makes adjustments for all transactions for non-cash items, then adjusts for all cash-based transactions. An increase in an asset account is subtracted from net income, and an increase in a liability account is added back to net income. This method converts accrual-basis net income (loss) into cash flow by using a series of additions and deductions.

PRODUCING REPORTS FROM PROLAW

REPORT DETAIL LEVEL

The most important thing to know about producing reports in ProLaw is that the report will pull information at the record level of detail for the area. This means: in Matters, the detail level of the report is a Matter; in Contacts, the detail level of the report is a Contact; in Events, the detail level of the report is an Event – which can be a Docket, a Document, or a Note event; in Transactions, the detail level of the report is a single Transaction; in Ledger, the detail level of the report is a Ledger entry – which can be a Statement, a Cash Receipt, an Unapplied Cash Entry, a Write-off, or an Application of Unapplied Cash.

SEARCH/QUERY RESULTS

The second most important thing to know about producing reports in ProLaw is: what you're reporting on is the information you have on your Find window or, if you've run a query, your query results. If, in Matters, you set your Search by dropdown list to Client Sort and type an 'A' in the Search for: box, the results of your settings will be the Matters in ProLaw which have a Client Sort which begins with the letter 'A.' If you then run a report, you will be reporting on only the Matters which have a Client Sort beginning with the letter 'A.' Make sure that you've searched or queried for, and found, all the records and only the records you're interested in reporting on before running a report.

HOW TO RUN REPORTS

STEP 1: ACCESSING REPORTS

You can get to the menu of report format for any area of ProLaw as follows:

• Toolbar Button: Clicking the green Reports button on the toolbar for the area

.NET SAMPLE REPORTS BOOK HOW TO RUN REPORTS

228

STEP 3: SETTING INITIAL GROUP BY, ORDER BY AND PAGE BREAK OPTIONS

Group by: When you group by a field, ProLaw groups the records which are going to be shown into sub-sections of the report by the grouping. Grouping by more than one field means that within the first grouping, you are sub-grouping by the second field. The groups automatically order alphabetically for each grouping level.

Keep in mind that some will reports require grouping to show any useful detail (Fee Analysis, Revenue Analysis and Billing Analysis).

Order by: Order by sets the presentation order of your records. Keep in mind that if you're grouping, the order by will affect the presentation of records within the grouping but will not override the alphabetical order of your groups.

Page Break: You can use the Page Break checkbox to force page breaks when the report encounters a new value for a grouping.

STEP 4: PREVIEWING YOUR REPORT (OPTIONAL)

You can preview your report by:

• Toolbar Button: Clicking the Preview report button on the toolbar

OR

• Menu Option: Choosing Preview report from the Actions menu

PRINT GRID AS A SUPPLEMENT TO DEFAULT REPORTS

ProLaw Version 11 introduces a powerful supplement to ProLaw's default reports. From the Quick Find or Query view in almost ALL areas of ProLaw – you can quickly customize your view of the data returned by your Quick Find/Query results and produce a report which shows just what you're seeing on your screen. You'll notice under your Action menu that you have Buttons for Print Grid and Save Grid. The Print Grid Button allows you to print the records you have on the screen, and allows customization to the extent that you can't alter or edit the data but you CAN add headers and footers, a report title and customize colors for your grid).

CUSTOMIZING YOUR VIEW

There are three ways that you can customize your grid view:

• To add area fields that might not be enabled in your grid, you'll need to select them from Preferences. In the gray bar above the columns, right click and select the menu for Choose columns. Any field that is not already enabled will not have a checkmark next to it. Check the box next to the field and that column will appear in your grid.

• You can rearrange the order of the columns by clicking and dragging them to their desired position.

• Finally, if you drag columns into the gray space above the columns headers (where it says "Drag a column header here to group by that column") then your grid will present the data grouped by that column. Right click in your results window if you're grouping: you can choose to Expand grid – which will expand all of your groups to include the individual results under the groupings. If your grid is expanded and you wish to collapse it and only see the groupings themselves, choose Collapse grid. You can even choose to collapse the grid, and manually expand only area of interest (by clicking the plus sign to the left of the groupings you want expanded.

PRINT GRID AND SAVE GRID

Once you have your view set up to your satisfaction, you can Save grid button on your Action menu (or the Save grid button at the top of your screen). This creates and .html file of your results, which can be easily printed or emailed. You might also want to Print Grid, which will allow you the ability to format the grid for reporting purposes. Click Print Grid on your action menu to investigate the formatting options.

STEP 1: ACCESSING MANAGEMENT REPORTS:

• Dashboard Buttons: From the ProLaw Dashboard, click the Report Button. The Management Reports window will open.

OR

• Dashboard Menus: From the File menu on the ProLaw Dashboard, select Reports. The Management Reports window will open.

STEP 2: CHOOSING THE REPORTING AREA

On the left hand side, you will have a menu for Management Report under which all Management reports are listed. Choose any report, and the contents of the Report window will change to reflect the report settings and default report choices for the selected report.

MANAGEMENT REPORT: A/P AGING

The A/P Aging area reflects all unpaid checks/payable entries from a non-trust checking account with a Journals Invoice Date less than the As Of date setting for A/P Aging. The amounts of the entries are categorized according to aging buckets, including future buckets, to allow the Firm to better project outflow of cash. The reports will include checks/payables which were past due or outstanding at the time of the As Of date, even if the check has subsequently been issued.

The following A/P Aging reports are included with ProLaw: Listing, Listing (Wide).

A/P AGING REPORT SETTINGS:

As Of: the primary setting for the A/P Aging reports is the As Of date selection box; use this setting to set the date according to which your A/P will be aged. If you set the date to 12/31/2005, for example, the Current A/P will include payables with Journal Dates from 12/01/2005 through 12/31/2005 – that is, for the 30 days up to and including the As Of date – which have not been cut to the Payee at the time of the As Of date.

If you don't use a query, then the A/P Aging result set will include all Accounts Payable which have not been paid by the Firm by the time of (including checks which have been cut subsequent to) the As Of date for the report.

Matching the A/P Aging Reports to Journals: You can identify the Journal entries which will be detailed on your A/P Aging

Report as follows

From Journals Query View:

1. Set the type field to "Checks" 2. Run the following query (assumes an As Of Date in A/P Aging of 12/31/2005):

“checking and Invoice Date<=12/31/2005 and ((Date>12/31/2005) or (Check No=0)) and not trust”

To change the query to reflect a different As Of Date in A/P Aging, change all references to 12/31/2005 in the above query to match the As Of Date in A/P Aging

MANAGEMENT REPORT: A/R AGING

The A/R Aging area is designed for summary Accounts Receivable Aging reporting; the detail level of the reports is summary Aged A/R for a Matter. Matters which have no A/R during the time frame (all dates less than the As Of date set in the reporting area) are excluded from the built in query which creates the reporting area and so are necessarily excluded from the results. This means that if you set your As Of date in the reporting area for June 30, 2005 and you have a Matter against which you haven't billed until after June 30, 2005 then the Matter will not be included in the set of Matters which have Aged A/R. The information for A/R Aging is coming from Matters, Contacts (for your billing contacts), Ledger and a table in ProLaw which tracks statements at a summary level by professionals for Fees and by component for hard costs, soft costs, interest and tax.

The following A/R Aging reports are included with ProLaw: Breakdown, Client Level with Statement Detail, Listing, Listing (with Over 120 and Over 360), Listing (with Over 120,180 and 360), Listing (with Over 180 and Over 365), Listing with Fee/Other Totals and Total Listing with Fee Cost Breakdown.

A/R AGING REPORT SETTINGS

As Of: the primary setting for the A/R Aging reports is the As Of date selection box; use this setting to set the date according to which your A/R will be aged. If you set the date to 12/31/2005, for example, the Current A/R will include billed fees, hard costs, soft costs, interest and tax dated from 12/01/2005 through 12/31/2005 – that is, for the 30 days up to and including the As Of date – which have not been paid at the time of the As Of date.

Query – Statement Detail that…: you also have a Query window for A/R Aging. You can limit your results by Querying. If you don't use a query, then the A/R Aging result set will include all A/R which has not been paid by the time of (including A/R which has been relieved by payments or write-off subsequent to) the As Of date for the report -- including Unapplied Cash if you haven't checked the Exclude Unapplied Cash check box, or excluding Unapplied Balances if you have chosen to Exclude Unapplied Cash.

Exclude Unapplied Cash check box: if you check this box, it will exclude all Unapplied Cash. If you don't check the Exclude Unapplied Cash box, Unapplied Cash will be included in your A/R Aging

MANAGEMENT REPORT: BILLING ANALYSIS

The Billing Analysis reporting area is designed to provide summary information about Fees Worked at, Billed by and Paid to your Firm. The information is derived from Transactions and Ledger. Fees worked are non-flat fee time entries for professionals with a transaction date in the reporting month (for month to date information) or reporting year (for year to date information). Fees billed are fees which appeared on a statement with a statement date in the reporting month (for month to date information) or reporting year (for year to date information). Unapplied fees and fees received or written off are calculated based on having a ledger date in the reporting month (for month to date information) or reporting year (for year to date information), regardless of when the fees were originally billed. The reports can be grouped to provide summary information by Matter or Professional related data.

The presentation of information on Billing Analysis reports depends quite heavily on what you group by, and in what order. For example, if you group a Billing Analysis report by Professional and then by Area of Law – your Professional's fees worked, billed and paid will be categorized by Area of Law level detail. Conversely, if you group a Billing Analysis report by Area of Law and then Professional, you'll have Area of Law level worked, billed and paid at the summary level and your detail will be the individual professionals within the Area of Law. Experiment with the groupings in the Billing Analysis reports to identify the detail level which best suits your Firm's reporting needs.

Flat Fees are not included in hours reporting for Billing Analysis reports. Flat fees are typically fee-for-service, and the service itself is taken to be the unit for a Flat Fee transactions. Flat fees dollars worked and billed are, however, included in Billing Analysis reports.

Note that only professionals who have entered time or whose time has been billed or paid (or written off) during the reporting date range will be represented. Likewise only Matters on which fees have been worked or billed, or against which fees have been received or written off, during the reporting date range will be represented and only assigned Professionals whose assigned Matters meet these criteria will be reflected.

Note also that the Billing Analysis Realization report assumes that on balance the Fees entered, billed and received will be consistent on a month to month basis; the realization figures calculate current MTD/YTD billing (regardless of when the fees were originally worked) against MTD/YTD worked, and MTD/YTD paid (regardless of when the fees were originally worked or billed) against MTD/YTD worked and billed.

The following Billing Analysis reports are included with ProLaw: Realization, Summary

BILLING ANALYSIS REPORT SETTINGS

Begin & End: the primary settings for the Billing Analysis reports are the Begin and End date selection boxes for the reporting date range. You can set an End date without setting a Begin date, and the report will use the beginning of the Calendar year as the beginning date. If you set a Begin date, the report will reflect the entire date range as YTD figures, and the month of the End date as MTD figures.

Query – Billing Analysis that…: you also have a Query window for Billing Analysis. You can limit your results by Querying. If you don't use a query, then the Billing Analysis result set will include all fees worked which have a transaction date during the date range for the report, and all fees billed, received or written off which have a statement date or a ledger date during the date range for the report.

.NET SAMPLE REPORTS BOOK ANALYSIS REPORT: FEE ANALYSIS

234

ANALYSIS REPORT: FEE ANALYSIS

The Fee Analysis reporting area is designed to provide summary information about Fees Worked and Billed for your Firm. The information is derived primarily from Transactions with some of the billing date information coming from the Transactions table link to Ledger. Fees worked are non-flat fee time entries for professionals with a transaction date in the reporting month (for month to date information) or reporting year (for year to date information). Fees billed are fee entries for professionals with a statement date and, if you've checked the Preference in Transactions, no-bill date in the reporting month (for month to date information) or reporting year (for year to date information), regardless of when the hours were originally worked. ProLaw's Fee Analysis reports include transactions units (hours) and value for worked fees and statement units (billed hours), value, extended amount, discount and fields calculated using these, like write-up/down, for billed fees. The reports can be grouped to provide summary information by Matter or Professional related data.

The presentation of information on Fee Analysis reports depends quite heavily on what you group by, and in what order. For example, if you group a Fee Analysis report by Professional and then by Area of Law – your Professional's worked and billed will be categorized by Area of Law level detail. Conversely, if you group a Fee Analysis report by Area of Law and then Professional, you'll have Area of Law level worked and billed at the summary level and your detail will be the individual professionals who worked within the Area of Law. You may end up with multiple entries for the professionals, as they likely worked on Matters with multiple, different Areas of Law over the course of the reporting month and year. Experiment with the groupings in Fee Analysis to identify the detail level which best suits your Firm's reporting needs.

Flat Fees are not included in hours reporting for Fee Analysis reports. Flat fees are typically fee-for-service, and the service itself is taken to be the unit for a Flat Fee transactions. Flat fees dollars worked and billed are, however, included in Fee Analysis reports.

Administrative hours, extended amount and value are professional time entries entered against Matters which have a Matter Type marked as administrative. Billable hours, extended amount and value are professional time entries entered against Matters which have a Matter Type which has not been marked as administrative.

Note that only professionals who have time entries or who have had time billed during the reporting date range will be represented. Likewise only Matters on which time has been entered or against which time has been billed during the reporting date range will be represented and only assigned Professionals whose assigned Matters meet these criteria will be reflected.

The following Fee Analysis reports are included with ProLaw: Billable and Admin Hours Worked, Billable and Admin Hours Worked (Fiscal), Hours Worked, Hours Worked (Fiscal), Worked, Worked (Fiscal), Worked and Billed, Worked and Billed (Fiscal).

FEE ANALYSIS REPORT SETTINGS:

Begin & End: the primary settings for the Fee Analysis reports are the Begin and End date selection boxes for the reporting date range. You can set an End date without setting a Begin date, and the report will use the beginning of the Calendar year as the beginning date for the non-Fiscal reports, and the first day of the month set as your Fiscal Year beginning month (in Journals > Preferences > Accounts) as the beginning date for the Fiscal reports.

ANALYSIS REPORT: REVENUE ANALYSIS

The Revenue Analysis reporting area is designed to provide summary information about Fees Billed by and Paid to your Firm. The information is derived from Ledger. Fees billed are fees which appeared on a statement with a statement date in the reporting month (for month to date information) or reporting year (for year to date information). Unapplied fees and fees received or written off are calculated based on having a ledger date in the reporting month (for month to date information) or reporting year (for year to date information), regardless of when the fees were originally billed. The reports can be grouped to provide summary information by Matter or Professional related data. Following is a list of fields by which the Revenue Analysis reports can be grouped.

The presentation of information on Revenue Analysis reports depends quite heavily on what you group by, and in what order. For example, if you group a Revenue Analysis report by Professional and then by Area of Law – your Professional's fees billed and paid will be categorized by Area of Law level detail. Conversely, if you group a Revenue Analysis report by Area of Law and then Professional, you'll have Area of Law level billed and paid at the summary level and your detail will be the individual professionals within the Area of Law. Experiment with the groupings in the Revenue Analysis to identify the detail level which best suits your Firm's reporting needs.

Note that only professionals whose time has been billed or paid (or written off) during the reporting date range will be represented. Likewise only Matters on which fees have been billed or against which fees have been received or written off during the reporting date range will be represented and only assigned Professionals whose assigned Matters meet these criteria will be reflected.

The following Revenue Analysis reports are included with ProLaw: Billed and Paid, Billed and Paid (Fiscal).

REVENUE ANALYSIS REPORT SETTINGS:

Begin & End: the primary settings for the Revenue Analysis reports are the Begin and End date selection boxes for the reporting date range. You can set an End date without setting a Begin date, and the report will use the beginning of the Calendar year as the beginning date for the non-Fiscal reports, and the first day of the month set as your Fiscal Year beginning month (in Journals > Preferences > Accounts) as the beginning date for the Fiscal reports. If you set a Begin date, the report will reflect the entire date range as YTD figures, and the month of the End date as MTD figures.

Query – Statement Detail that…: you also have a Query window for Revenue Analysis. You can limit your results by Querying. If you don't use a query, then the Revenue Analysis result set will include all fees billed, received or written off which have a statement date or a ledger date during the date range for the report.

MANAGEMENT REPORT: WIP AGING

As Of: the primary setting for the WIP Aging reports is the As Of date selection box; use this setting to set the date according to which your WIP will be aged. If you set the date to 12/31/2005, for example, the Current WIP will include transactions dated from 12/01/2005 through 12/31/2005 – that is, for the 30 days up to and including the As Of date – which have not been billed or no billed at the time of the As Of date.

Query – Transactions that…: You also have a Query window for WIP Aging. You can limit your results by Querying. If you don't use a query, then the WIP Aging result set will include all transactions which have not been billed by the time of (including those which have been billed or no-billed subsequent to) the As Of date for the report -- including Transactions currently at Batch if you haven't checked the Exclude Batch check box, or excluding those transactions if you have chosen to Exclude Batch.

Exclude Batch check box: check this box to exclude all transactions with a current stage of Batch. If you don't check the Exclude Batch box, transactions with a current stage of Batch will be included in your Work in Process Aging summaries.

The following WIP Aging reports are included with ProLaw: Breakdown, Listing, Listing with Fee/Other Totals, Total Listing with Fee Cost Breakdown and with Rate Summary.

Matching to Transactions: You can identify the Transactions records which will be summarized on your A/P Aging Report as follows

WIP AGING REPORT SETTINGS:

As Of: 12/31/2005

Exclude Batch checked

Query: Transaction Date<=12/31/2005 and ((has any(statement date>12/31/2005)) or (has any(no-bill date>12/31/2005)) or

(stage<>'billed')) and stage<>'batch'

As Of: 12/31/2005

Exclude Batch not checked

Query: Transaction Date<=12/31/2005 and ((has any(statement date>12/31/2005)) or (has any(no-bill date>12/31/2005)) or (stage<>'billed'))

To change the query to reflect a different As Of Date in WIP Aging, change all references to 12/31/2005 in the above query to match the As Of Date in WIP Aging.

Use the Transactions Summary report grouped by Matter ID and compare this with a WIP Aging Listing report ordered by Matter ID, and you should have a one-to-one correspondence between your Matter ID Total Extended Amount on the Transactions Summary report and the Total Column for the WIP Aging Listing report.

Remember that if you use a query in WIP Aging, you'll need to modify your Transactions query to include the limiting parameters you're using for the WIP Aging query if you want to match the numbers.

MANAGEMENT REPORT: MISSING TIME

The Missing Time reporting area is designed specifically to allow Firms to monitor Professional time entry. You can specify a minimum number of hours required per day, and exclude Batch time. The reporting area will identify all Professionals who do not have the minimum hours entered on working days, and all of the working days for which they're missing time, during the month and year set in the As Of date. Only active professionals are included, and weekends and the holidays set up on the Matters > Preferences > Docket tab are not counted as missing time.

ANALYSIS REPORT: BUDGETS

ProLaw's Budgets reporting area is designed to report on the budgeted vs. actual Fees for Matters or Professionals who have time budgeted against Matters. Matter Budgets are set up on the Matters' Billing tab, from the Budgets button on the Billing tab immediately to the right of the Budget Fees box. For more information on setting up and using Matter Budgets, check the ProLaw Help File Contents for Financial Management, then choose the entry for Set Up Matter Budget under Billing Setup. Matter Budgets are used to Budget Fees only. Like the Analysis reports in ProLaw, the Budgets reporting area has no discrete level of detail and instead the report can reflect a variety of information about Matter Budgets in summary form depending on the grouping for the report. Group the report by Professional to measure how well individual professionals are able to remain within budget, group it by Area of Law to gauge how accurate the Firm is in projecting time needs for specific practice areas, group it by Task Code to determine whether you need to adjust the budgets for specific types of activities.

The following Budget report is available from the Reports menu off the ProLaw Dashboard: Listing
