We understand that billing summaries must meet quality standards set by both the firm and the client. Laurel aims to streamline this process by automating the creation of summaries through:
Entry summary templates
Predictive narratives
Duplication shortcuts
Entry Summary Templates
Create summary templates for faster entry creation. These templates can be reused on any unreleased entry, and are easily accessible through a shortcut created by you. They can also be used across devices - wherever you access Laurel.
Creating a template:
Select your initials in the bottom left-hand corner of Laurel to access your settings
Select the 'Narratives' tab
Click 'Add new' to create a new template
Add a name, a shortcut, and save
Click 'Save' once more at the top of your screen before leaving your settings
Accessing a template:
Select an unreleased entry on Timesheet
Click the summary dropdown or type in a shortcut you created (beginning with /) and apply
Template Management
By logging into your Admin Console and navigating to the 'Narratives' tab you will be able to access and manage all of your templates. Here you can:
Add Narratives: Effortlessly add as many narratives as you need with a simple workflow.
Edit Narratives: Tweaking your existing narratives has never been easier.
Delete Narratives: Clean up your list by removing narratives you no longer use.
Predictive Narratives
Leveraging your previous entries, Laurel learns about your unique style and preferences. As you write, it intelligently proposes narrative options that resonate with you. Simply press tab to complete the sentence, or continue typing to bypass the suggestion.
