The calendar event note field is great for adding a short bit of supplemental information to calendar events like phone numbers for appointments or topics that need to be covered during a particular meeting. The calendar event note field is great to use for appointment scheduling to add a call back or reminder phone number. The note field syncs with all CalDAV clients like iPhone so if you stick a phone number in the note field you can one click dial the number from your iPhone calendar.

The calendar event note field is probably not where you want to store really long notes about an event, like complete meeting notes. Although you could store them in the event note field, there’s an entire “Notes” section for each Matter that can be used for storing more extensive notes.

Not at all. A great calendar app for lawyers that could be used on both iOS, Android and desktop systems was one of the driving forces behind the development of GoMatters and we lead the way as the premier cloud based calendar app designed by lawyers, specifically for lawyers.

CalDAV is a calendar protocol supported by iCal, iPhone, iPad and other iOS devices and allows you to manipulated your office calendars in the native calendaring applications for those devices. CalDAV support is one of the things that makes GoMatters the best calendar app for lawyers. GoMatters calendars can also be accessed through Android devices supporting CalDAV using one of the many CalDAV apps available on Google Play like Smooth Sync for Cloud Calendar.

You can view and edit your GoMatters calendar on any device that supports CalDAV. You don’t need to be logged into the GoMatters application to view your calendars that are being pulled by supported devices so the calendar can be used offline. Once you’re back online, your calendar will update with your main GoMatters calendar.

GoMatters also supports internet calendar subscription for clients who cannot access a calendar through a CalDAV enabled device. Internet subscription calendars allow a subscriber to view calendar events, but internet subscription calendars are read-only and events cannot be added or edited.

Accessing your GoMatters calendar in your favorite device’s native application makes it easy to get updates to your calendar while on the move. The next time your at court and need to know your available dates for the next trial date in a matter, just pull out your iPhone, open the calendar app and scan your entire office calendar in a second. The calendar is perfectly in sync with your main office calendar! All events added back at your office by your secretaries automatically update across all phone or tablet devices associated with your GoMatters account. Once you have that new trial date, add it on your phone and it shows up on the main calendar back at the office. Managing your law office calendar in the cloud will help you and staff keep everything in sync with less effort.
