The Top 11 Neos Idea Portal Ideas we Implemented in 2023

You asked; we delivered! At Assembly, we pride ourselves on listening to our customers. Though we are unable to implement every idea suggested to us, we read and consider all of them! Below is a list of the top feature requests taken from the Neos Ideas Portal that we made into reality in Neos.

You’ll find a link to the Knowledge Base article that describes how we implemented each of the requests for additional context. Please note you need to be logged into Neos AND the Knowledge Base to be able to directly access the KB article from this post. (Just click the question mark at the top right-hand corner of your screen in Neos to access KB.)





Idea 1: Increase # of Notes that can be toggled

Neos only loads up to 50 notes to toggle through at a time; when you reach 50 you have to close the Notes viewer and scroll through the Notes tab to find the next group of Notes to read. Neos should load all notes at once.

Idea 2: The ability to open and edit PDFs directly from Neos and save them directly to Neos

Currently in Neos, when opening PDFs, you have the ability to open them using Adobe Acrobat DC, however, once the PDF is edited it will not auto-save directly to Neos the same way Word docs do. This is an inconvenience to have to save the PDF and re-upload back to Neos/SharePoint. Would be useful to have that auto-save functionality for PDFs as well.

Comment/Note on Checklist Items

In the "details" of a checklist item, there should be a text box (labeled "comments" or "notes") where people can add details, updates, notes, etc., about a checklist item. Currently, my firm adds this info to the task name, but that leads to long, run-on task names that can be difficult to read. Adding a text box under details would solve this issue and allow people to communicate about checklist items more clearly.

Idea 3: A way to not lose track in Notes and Value tab

When reviewing either notes and/or value tab we would like the ability to fully open (not preview) a note or a value tab item and when we "x" out have that note highlighted so we don't lose our place. When reviewing 50+ items, it's hard to remember exactly where you were.

Idea 4: Save note and stays in that Note tab

When I save a note, I want it to stay in that note tab instead of going back to the list of notes. If I'm interrupted at work and I save the note but intend to continue entering information, I want it to stay open but saved for future use.

Idea 5: Searching for parties with the same name and initial is ambiguous

When parties have the same name and middle initial, the search results look identical. Unless you know case numbers by heart, you would have to open each case to see which is the right case for the party. More context information in the search area would be helpful.

Idea 6: Notes column in case docs tab

Currently in Neos, there is not an option to view notes from either the note flyout menu or as a column for the grid on the case docs tab like there was on Needles. This was extremely helpful to see as a column without having to view the detail view.

Idea 7: Case Calendar - Add item without putting it on MY Outlook calendar

I primarily enter all case calendar items into Neos. If it is a case date that I want on another attorney's calendar, but not my own, the only way to do that is to sign out, sign in as them, and add the item. It would be better if I could add a case calendar item, add the attorney who is handling the matter, and remove myself from the matter, so it doesn't add it to my Outlook calendar.

Idea 8: Neos - Printing Notes directly from tab

I would like to print selected (single/multiple) notes to print.

Idea 9: Counsel Tab - Ability to select multiple parties in the Representing dropdown bar

Currently you can only select one party in the Counsel Tab that shows who that attorney represents. In multiple cases, the attorney represents more than one party. It would be beneficial to be able to select multiple parties to accurately show who the attorney is representing.

Idea 10: AKA name should show up in the search field

When typing the AKA name, you must type in last name, first name format, and only then the "new" name shows up in the search field. (Nothing shows up if you type first name then last name). There is no way to know which person from the list is the one you need without going to the pullout on each one until you find the correct person.

Idea 11: Multiple Provider Requests

It should work similar to how it did in Needles 4, in which it allowed us to request multiple providers at once. It would benefit anyone that has to request multiple records at once for one client.
