11/24/2004 Bellevue, WA   CourtTrax Releases IRIS, Version 1.7.0

IRIS version 1.7.0 has been officially released by CourtTrax. This version contains significant usability benefits designed to save both time and money. Two notable features have been rolled out with the 1.7.0 release, expanded Saved Search Reports, and Report Multi-trieve.

An unlimited number of Saved Search Reports are now saved for up to 60 days in a new paged display format. Frequent users will immediately appreciate this enhancement since they will no longer quickly push saved search reports off of the saved search panel.

Report based Multi-trieve builds upon the success of previous Multi-trieve implementations. Any case/judgment number returned on a Name Search Report can be selected via the check box just left of the number. The Case Detail Reports for all selected cases can then be retrieved with one click of the "Go" button. A user can still enter multiple case numbers directly in the search form as before. However, case numbers entered in this fashion must be from the same county. Report Multi-trieve removes this limitation completely.

IRIS version 1.6.0 was released in October of this year and added the innovative Multi-print feature which allows printing multiple saved reports with a single click. November's release continues the customer driven innovation trend unmatched in the industry.
