Award and Manage your Project

Project Management

Once your bidding period is over, or when you feel you've received enough proposals to make a decision, you can award your project to your best suited provider in just one step.

Once your project is awarded, your project is assigned a secure workroom where you can collaborate with your provider via secure and private messages and shared files. Archability alerts you every time there is a status update on your project and you may message your provider at any time.

Media Share

Each awarded project contains a Media Share function to help keep your files organized. This advanced and secure Mediashare distribution system provides a convenient tool for both buyers and providers to upload and accept relevant project content that may be required to begin (or complete) a project.

Available is a Private folder for personal files, references, etc, that is only accessible to you. Use the Shared Folder to – you guessed it – share documents with your service provider. Uploading is easy – simply browse files on your personal hard drive and select the document you want to upload.

With Media Share, you can create sub-folders and upload documents to share with only your chosen Law Clerk.

Archability gives you the tools to manage online and verify that work is progressing on schedule and to your specifications.
