Abstract: Users of an office-based computer system are prompted to check in upon system login. An office notification message is created that includes a recipient group and an expiration. The notification message is sent only to checked-in members of the recipient group. After the notification message expires, it is deleted from the recipients' mailboxes. A reply message may be created by a notification message recipient and sent to the recipients of the original notification message. The reply message inherits the expiration of the original notification message and is deleted upon expiration.

Abstract: A workflow system provides role-specific console programs that display information for working attorneys, covering attorneys, paralegals and others. The system enables a working attorney's workflow items to be covered by another attorney, without intermingling display of “to do” items belonging to the covering attorney with “to do” items belonging to the working attorney. Another aspect of the system enables automatically attaching documents that are relevant to a workflow item to an e-mail message.
