This may have already been considered, but possibly using Zoom break out rooms may be helpful to be separate, and together. Our organization just had its annual conference (nearly 300 ppl), and break out rooms were EVERYTHING. We figured it might be too confusing for some to exit one Zoom link, go to another, toggle back etc. The admins kept control of the rooms, ending the rooms when some were staggering, and everyone ended back in the main room. Just a thought :-J

Anyone built out workflows using LS & Power Automate? I would love to learn about it! We may in the near future. Also we have built auto-refresh Power BI dashboards that display LS data within Teams, if anyone wants to learn about that. mgiezeman@supportkind.org

Found this list of fun APIs for playing around (I mean learning)

As a beginner developer, some of the first questions you'll ask yourself and others are:

What projects should I work on as a beginner?

What makes a good side project?

Where should I start?

If you aren't fond of the basic to-do list, calculator, or some type of clone answers, then the perfect place to start is by building interesting applications around public-facing REST APIs!

API stands for Application Programming Interface. Don't worry about the Application Programming part - focus on Interface. You use interfaces all the time. Your keyboard is an interface. An ATM. A search engine.

An interface sits on top of a complicated system and simplifies things for you, saving you from needing to know every complex detail of what's under the hood. It's a simple way to use smart things.

REST API stands for Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface. Ultimately, you can think of them as a shortcut into a web service's database. They provide a set of methods that a programmer can use via HTTP to send and receive data.

Companies won't just let you log into their internal database and look around, but they will give you an easier way to access it in certain limited ways using their API. Some have limitations on the number of times you can call, some require signing up to receive a private API Key, and some require setting up OAuth for users to log in securely.

These APIs are ones I've personally come across and thought were cool, fun, interesting, and different - giving you an edge on your next project!

They are totally free, don't require you to figure out how to handle OAuth, and are super easy to get started.

Categories

These are the categories these APIs are under, in this order:

The best place to start is by getting and displaying data. Maybe it's sending a cat photo a day to someone, creating a joke generator, or sending updates to yourself on what the temperature is at a certain time - the ideas are endless.

If you still feel stuck, many of the links above will share different projects that were built using their API. Check them out, jot some ideas down, and have some fun!

LegalServer Onboarding Trainings

Essential Features Tour

On the second Friday of the month we hold three training sessions covering over ten modules on LegalServer. Each onboarding agency should plan on attending at least one full Features Tour and are invited to attend more than one. This training is appropriate to both admins and front end users.

Onboarding Admin Training

On the first Tuesday on the month we hold an afternoon training covering the admin tools on LegalServer, including creating fields, lookups, process, forms and branch logic. We take a look at editing profiles and the site menu, as well as the site settings.

Hands On Admin Training

Most onboarding clients have three hours of dedicated admin training. We typically use this time to review configurations made on your site, and walk your admins through those configurations and how to maintain these changes. This session is usually scheduled on an agency by agency basis. Please consult your contract for these training hours.

Onboarding Office Hours

Each week we hold office hours where onboarding groups are encouraged to log into the Zoom room and ask general questions about the functionality of various LegalServer features. Please be aware, there are often multiple groups represented on these calls. When this happens we do a round robin style where each group asks a few questions, and we move on to the next group to make sure everyone's questions are answered. We are not able to answer specific questions about things like data, and focus instead on general functionality.

GoLive Training

Part of the GoLive process typically includes GoLive Training. Please consult your contract for the number of hours and format of the training itself. For a list of the suggested topics, please take a look at our help site Training Before Go Live. Your onboarding contact will discuss and finalize your training schedule in the weeks leading up to your GoLive.

Post GoLive Training

After GoLive many groups have additional training hours to use to answer questions, review existing modules, or train or additional features. We try to schedule these within the 30 day refinement period

LegalServer Ongoing Training

Tuesday Trainings

Every Tuesday we hold a platform wide training on a variety of topics from running reports to intake functionality to open q & a for admins and report builders. Anyone using LegalServer is invited to join.

Additional Trainings

You can always request additional training, either during the onboarding process or once your site is live. For more information, please read our LegalServer Training page on the help site.
