Auto-replay of Form Entries

The Matter Profile

Whenever you start to fill or create a fillable form, all the related data for the current matter is collected and saved to that Matter Profile for that matter. Think of this as the data that is exported to be available for form filling. Click here for details on how the ALF file controls this process. Initially, the Matter Profile is a list of all the fields (and their values) for the matter. But it can contain more!

Preserving Form Entries

As you fill forms, sometimes you must type entries for fields that are not stored in Abacus. These extra entries are also saved into your profile and re-used the next time you fill a form for that matter. For example, you do a form that requires a Date of Marriage, but you don't have that field in your Abacus matter screen. When you enter the date and then save or print the fillable form, the date is preserved in your matter profile. Next week you do another fillable form that requires Date of Marriage, and the date is auto-filled for you.
