Version 5.2 (Ophelia) Release Notes

MerusCase version 5.2 includes some amazing new calendar interactions including the ability for you to invite others to a meeting or even to add someone else's invitation to your Merus calendar with the click of a button!

Release Notes Spotlight (2)-956027-edited.png

Your calendar views have been completely upgraded to include several new features, starting on your dashboard. You can now select from three different calendar views including day, week, or list and Merus will remember your favorite and display it the next time you come back! Want an Annual calendar view with all 12 months? Get dual 50" monitors and we can talk.

You can now email event invitations, both internally and externally. People might actually show up to your meetings on time.

There are a few other exciting new features you should know about too.

  • Added the ability to view the calendar(s) for ANY combination of colleagues within your firm

  • Checking the Notify Assignees checkbox sends an email to all assignees with an .ics file attachment that can be added to any .ics-compatible calendar application

  • The number of guests invited to an event will be displayed in the event preview and in the events index

  • Improved display of Colleagues menu when creating new events. You can add individuals, an entire office or your whole firm!

  • Added the ability to jump to any date in a calendar by using the new go to button
