QUICKSCRIBE NEWS: Instant Notification – Coming Soon! – Quickscribe is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of a very exciting initiative designed to keep you more informed than ever before! How will it work? – Using RSS feeds, Quickscribe has developed a unique tool that will provide clients with instant notification of amendments to legislation affecting YOUR specific area of interest. Clients will have the option to select all legislation, individual Acts/Regulations or key groupings of related legislation (i.e. Forest and Environment, Motor Vehicle, etc.). Once you have made your selection, your work is done! The moment we consolidate and post a new amendment to any of the legislation on your list, a message will be sent directly to your desktop alerting you to the change. The "alert page" will include a summary of the affected legislation. From there you will have the option to view the actual section at your discretion. We are pleased to be able to offer this new service to Quickscribe online clients at no additional cost! Beta testing is underway and we hope to have the new system up and running before the end of October. Please feel free to email us with your thoughts or questions concerning this unique initiative.
