Binders*
If you’ve ever used a 3-ring binder to store and organize paper documents, you’ll love Docket Navigator’s electronic binders. Every search is now stored as a tab in a binder. A new search creates a new binder with one tab. Opening a new tab in an existing binder adds a new search tab to that binder. This allows you to bundle searches involving similar topics (e.g., client presentation, research for a motion, etc.) in a single location. You can also create an alert for all tabs in a binder and share binders with colleagues.
Tip
To modify a binder you don’t own (a curated binder, a profile binder, or a binder that has been shared with you), click the “Copy this Binder” icon. You will be the owner of the new binder, which will appear in your binder wall, and you’ll be able to edit, add new tabs, share and alert the new binder.
Binder Types*
Custom Binders*
Custom binders are binders you own and manage. Custom binders can be created from scratch or by copying a binder you don’t own.
To create a new custom binder from scratch, click the search button on the binder wall or the options menu. That search will appear as a tab in a new custom binder. Click the tab with the plus symbol to open a new tab, representing a new search, within an existing binder. This allows you to bundle searches involving similar topics (e.g., client presentation, research for a motion, etc.) in a single location. You can also create an alert for all tabs in a binder and share binders with colleagues.
To create a new custom binder from a binder you don’t own (a curated binder, a profile binder, or a binder that has been shared with you), click the “Copy Binder” icon. You will be the owner of the new binder, which will appear in your binder wall, and you’ll be able to edit, add new tabs, share and alert the new binder.
