Document Assembly > What is document assembly?
Create new documents and emails that automatically include your specific Amicus information! For example, new client letters that have the client's name, full matter name, responsible lawyer's name, billing rate, etc., already all filled in.
Document assembly automatically combines standard text with variable information supplied by client, file, timekeeper, or firm data. You generate a document by simply selecting a document template and specifying a particular file and/or contact—view the assembled contents, and print it and/or save it as a PDF or Word document on a file. If using a suitable Amicus Editor template, document assembly can also populate the body of an email, which you can then edit further before sending.
