Expected Result: In the Dockets tab, after applying Deskew function to an image without
stamps, deskew functionality should be applied and the image should not be corrupted.
Resolution: Fixed issue where images without stamps were corrupted after applying deskew
functionality. There was left over code related to deskewing Tifs in the deskew PDF logic that
would resave the PDF file after it had already been saved using the save Tif logic. Commented
out the code that was resaving the image after it had already been saved. Now, images without
file stamp that are deskewed will display the deskewed image without error.

will not be OCRed. Documents reviewed in the e-File Review screen will also be saved as PDFA
and OCRed when this setting is true. OCRing documents will add a delay to the saving and
display of the images which can be quite significant depending on the number of pages in the
document. This setting only applies if the setting StoreDocumentsAsPdfA is true.

Expected Result: After creating a new UCR record that has not yet been sent, the system
should not populate a default date in the Submit Date column.
Resolution: Fixed issue where after creating a new UCR record the system populated a default
date, now after creating a new UCR record the Submit Date column is empty.
BEN-6083: Multiple Pages Tiff Stamping when Configured to Stamp the First Page Only

content properly expands or contracts. Other User Interface cleanup changes were made to
increase the readability of the screen, the Add Notification button and the Attachments section
were removed. Grid changes were made to reduce the number of columns in the grid and order

Corrected Issues
BEN-5533: Modify Logic to Assign CasePartySubType When Adding an Attorney to a Party
Expected Result: The CasePartySubType should be populated with the PrimaryPartySubType
from the attorney record. If the attorney does not have one, no CasePartySubType should
be populated.
Resolution: Fixed issue where after adding an attorney to a case the CasePartySubType was
not populated. Now, the CasePartySubType is populated with the PrimaryPartySubType after
adding an attorney to a case if the attorney has one. It will be left black if the attorney does
not have a PrimaryPartySubType.
BEN-5696: Restitution Checks Should Always Use the tblCasePartyAddress (if exists), If Not, Use the
Active Address
Expected Result: The case party address of a restitution check should be the address that
was added to the tblCasePartyAdress, in case the address does not exist, it should be the active
address.
Resolution: Fixed issue where after paying with a restitution check the system was taking the
active party address and not the tblCasePartyAdress added to the case. Now when the case has
a case party address the system should use that address in the restitution check.
BEN-5762: Copy/Paste Functionality was not Working on Imported PDF documents in Dockets Redacted
Expected Result: Redacted PDF and TIFF documents must be copied/pasted from the original
docket to a new docket with the ability to see the original and redacted document in the image
viewer and the docket to which the redacted document was pasted will be marked as redacted.
Resolution: Fixed issue where copy/paste functionality was only copying redacted images from
PDF/TIFF documents and not the entire document including non-redacted pages. In addition to
having the ability to see the original and redacted document in the docket.
BEN-5768: Remove Prompt to Send Original Images When No Original Images Exist
Expected Result: User should not be prompted with the message “Send Original Images” if the

original image.
BEN-5856: Pending Cases Acceptance Process Not Respecting Docket Code Security
Expected Result: The pending cases acceptance process should respect the docket code security
of its related case dockets.
Resolution: Logic was added to the AcceptPendingCase routine to loop through the case
dockets, and if a case docket has its HideFromWeb field value equal to Normal and the
DocketCode’s DefaultHideFromWeb field value is not equal to Normal, it will set the case
docket’s HideFromWeb to match the DocketCode’s DefaultHideFromWeb field value. Dockets
that come in from an external service that did not populate the HideFromWeb value will now
set the value when the pending case is accepted.
BEN-5870: Redactions - Large PDFs Files and Benchmark ImageWebService
Expected Result: After importing and redacting documents with many pages the file should not
grow exponentially, and the saving time should not be too long.

them into the PDF document.
BEN-5902: General Tab – QA Headers are Not Updating After Changing Related Data

changes made to other areas in the case such as updating statutes on the Charges tab or

stamps to the new tiff file. Now the stamp remains.
BEN-5977: Dockets Tab - Appending an Image Causes Redaction Removal on Non-PDF/A Documents
Expected Result: In the Dockets tab image viewer, using the Append functionality on the Import
option located in the Tools drop-down, should not remove the redactions on a legacy image that
is in tiff format with the setting StoreDocumentsAsPdfA turned on.
Resolution: Modified the code to set the document access type to current before removing
stamp and reapplying. The redacted images are now retained when importing or scanning an
image to a legacy image that is in tiff format with the setting StoreDocumentsAsPdfA turned on.

BEN-5989: Non-Redacted Document is not Included in the Original Image After a Redacted Image has
been Copied.
Expected Result: In the Dockets tab, after a redacted image is copied to a non-redacted
document, the non-redacted document should be included in the original image.
Resolution: Fixed issue where appending redacted images to a document that doesn’t have
redactions, the system was not creating an original of the document, only the original from the
copied image was added.
Added logic to create an original of the image the user is pasting to before appending the
original images that were copied. After the change, the original document now contains both
the images that were originally on the docket as well as the original images from the copied
images.
Copy and Paste options are in the Tools menu.
BEN-5993: Replace Document Option from Copy/Paste Functionality Only Copies the Redacted Images
Expected Result: In the Docket tab, when replacing an image using the Replace Entire Document
option from the Copy/Paste functionality, if the image used as replacement is redacted, both
the redacted image and the original image should be available on the docket entry where the
replacement was performed.
Resolution: Updated the logic for replace to use the original image from the copied image when
saving the original image on the docket the images were pasted to. After the update, the
original does not contain any redacted pages. Original and redacted images will be displayed
according to the View Original/View redacted button from the viewer.

turned on. Modified logic to always include the normal image as the original image when
pasting images if PDF/A is turned on.
BEN-6038: Receipts Generated from Fees Tab do not Always Display the Correct Receipt Information
Expected Result: In the Fees tab, Transactions grid, Receipt report should display the correct
information.
Resolution: Fixed issue where receipts were displaying the same information in all the
transactions, the Receipt query record was not set up to auto-finalize and it was reloading the
unfinalized version of the receipt. Added logic when running either the Details or Receipt
reports to set AutoFinalize = True before running the queries.
BEN-6040: Find Command Does Not Perform the Search Without First Selecting a Docket from The List
Expected Result: In the Petitions tab, the ‘Find’ command will search for the entered docket
regardless of whether the user first selected a docket from the list or not.
Resolution: Find command shows the next docket based on the entered docket without first
selecting a docket from the list. Once you reach the end of the found dockets, they should
continue to be displayed if you continue to find the dockets based on the entered docket name.

BEN-6043: Petition Docket Grid Refresh Issue After Adding Docket on Dockets Tab
Expected Result: The new docket should not be displayed on the Petition tab unless the docket
has been assigned to the case petition. It should not overwrite the header text of the fixed row;
it should add a new docket entry line below the header text line.
Resolution: Fixed issue where after adding a new docket the system was changing the petition
dockets header to the name of the last docket added and after a new docket was added the
system was assigning it automatically. Now after adding a new docket, the header appears as
expected, and the docket is not assigned automatically.
BEN-6047: Petition Type Not Saved When Using Court Type Specific Petition Type Lookup Group

otherwise to use the regular lookup group PetitionType everywhere the lookup group
“PetitionType” was being referenced. The petition type now saves as expected.

Expected Result: Document should be added as an attachment when sending an email from
a docket and the recipient should receive the content of the email and the document in the
attachment section.
Resolution: Modified the code to evaluate the PDFPageCount property instead of PageCount. If
the PageCount is 0, it will get the page count from the PDF file instead of from tblDocument to
include the correct pages. The document is added to the attachment section in the email sent
from a docket, the recipient receives the email as a document in the attachment section when
the setting UseEmbeddedDocumentLinkWithinEmailBody is equal to false.
