Once an eLaw case has been associated with a Neos Case, a manual sync can be performed to add new motions to the Case as Dynamic Layouts and update existing motions that have changes.
While changes can be made on the eLaw Motions Tab, upon the next sync (manual OR nightly at 12 am PST), eLaw will overwrite all changes and recreate any Motions that have been deleted from Neos. To retain your Motion changes, consider adding eLaw Motions manually to Neos.
NOTE: You must have the eLaw Special Permission set to Enabled.
Sync Motions
To sync eLaw Motions:
Navigate to the Case Tab of the Neos Case that is added to the watchlist for the associated eLaw case.
In the eLaw Watchlist section, click the Sync button.
Neos will sync motions from eLaw. A Processing to Complete window will display in the bottom right.
The first time eLaw motions are synced, a new Dynamic Layout tab called "eLaw Motions" will be created in the Neos Case.
NOTE: You will need to close and reopen the Case to see the created tab.
Click the new eLaw Motions tab at the bottom of the tab list in the Case. The eLaw Motions grid contains columns for Relief Sought, Date Filed, Judge, Motion Status, Last Appearance, Next Appearance, Date Created, Date Modified, Staff Created, and Staff Modified.
View eLaw Motions
eLaw Motions can be accessed by single-clicking an entry to view the side preview pane.
NOTE: If the eLaw Motion contains data in the Extra Data fields, they will be present in the side preview pane and detail view. These fields can include:
Proceeding Type
Motion Effect
Party
Decision Date
Decision Type
Decision Comment
Motion Comment 1
Motion Comment 2
Clerk Notified
Motion Rejected Date
Order Signed
Original Part
Referral Part
Referral Date
Transfer Comment
Double-click a Motion to access the detail view, mimicking the Dynamic Layout functionality.
Add Motions
Motions can be added manually from the eLaw Motions Tab of the Case. To add a motion, click the + Add New button above the grid.
Enter the desired fields on the detail view. At least one field must be entered to save.
Edit Motions
While eLaw Motions can be modified inside Neos, when the automatic or manual sync occurs, Neos will pull the current data from eLaw to either overwrite your changes or recreate Motions that have been deleted from Neos.
To make changes to a single field, open the detail view of an entry or the side preview pane.
To make changes in bulk, select the check boxes of the entries you wish to change and click the Edit button above the grid.
Use the Update Dynamic Layout(s) window to choose the fields you wish to change. Available fields include: Relief Sought, Date Filed, Judge, Motion Status, Last Appearance, and Next Appearance.
Click the Save to proceed with the bulk edit.
Delete Motions
One or more eLaw Motions can be deleted. However, when the eLaw sync occurs, these deleted motions will be recreated.
For a single motion, scroll to the far right of the grid and click the trash can icon.
For multiple motions, use the check boxes to select motions and click the Delete button above the grid.
Confirm your intention on the Delete Dynamic Layouts message.
