The most important difference about Wise Owl Legal Software to any previous desktop versions of practice management software you might have used is Wise Owl Legal is Browser based. What this means to you the user is two things:
- The controls to operate the system are a little different:
- You get the use of Browser short cuts;
- There is no double click for pick lists;
- The security is more intense.
- When you are given a log on, if you are allowed to access Wise Owl Legal Software from outside of your main office you will need to set up a browser authenticator on your phone. We will help you do this when we give you your log on.
- Security settings can be controlled by job, function or user.

Always remember to logout of Wise Owl when you are not at your computer or finished using the software.
To logout click the logout button in the top right-hand corner. Then close ALL tabs and windows in your Wise Owl Browser.
Notes on closing browsers:
- If you only have one browser open and then close it, you will be logged out (you will need to enter your username and password when you open WOL again)
- If you have many tabs, you need to close ALL of them for the auto logout (not just the Wise Owl ones, the news sites, Facebook, etc.)
- If you have many browsers (that is, many of the same browser; many Firefoxes for example), you need to close ALL of them for the auto logout (not just the Wise Owl ones, and don’t forget the ones on your other monitor as well)
- As soon as you hit the logout button, any other Wise Owl tab / browser will auto logout (within about 30 seconds)
- All the major browsers have a “private window” or “private session” feature (with various brandings). These are, from Wise Owl’s perspective, a totally new and separate browser. So if you logout from your “normal” browser, it does NOT logout from the “private session” and vice-versa. When you check the Tools -> Active Users page, you see two Firefox / Chrome / IE browsers listed for that user.
