Billing To Milan is able to provide both wide-ranging support for billing and accounting systems and unparalleled customization through the use of SQL scripts.
Billing To Milan currently recognizes the following seven scripts:
| Script Name | Function |
|---|---|
| MatterInput.sql | Creates and updates workspaces |
| BillingActivity.sql | Adds workspace shortcuts to users' My Matters in WorkSite based on the number of hours billed for a particular matter. |
| ArchiveInput.sql | Moves or archives workspaces from one WorkSite library to another |
| SubscriptionInput.sql | Creates a subscription for a specified user to the My Matters of another WorkSite user |
| MoveDocumentInput.sql | Moves documents within the same library |
| PolicyInput.sql | Creates policies to apply ethical walls using Security Center |
| PolicyInputEx.sql | Creates policies to apply ethical walls using Policy Center |
Examples scripts are provided in C:\Program Files\Prosperoware.Milan\billingtomilan\SQL.
Note: All scripts require some customization before they can be successfully used.
Before running Billing To Milan, you must create a connection string for each SQL script that you intend to use. If you run Billing To Milan without any command line options, it will look for a connection string named Billing; if no such connection string exists, Billing To Milan will return an error. In order for Billing To Milan to be able to create Provisioning Service jobs, a properly configured MatterInput or BillingActivity script must also exist in C:\Program Files\Prosperoware.Milan\billingtomilan\SQL.
The following table lists the connection string names Billing To Milan looks for when running each script.
| Script | Connection String Name |
|---|---|
| MatterInput | Billing |
| BillingActivity | Billing |
| ArchiveInput | Archive |
| SubscriptionInput | Security |
| PolicyInput | PolicyInput |
| PolicyInputEx | PolicyInputEx |
The above connection strings can be configured in Administration → Application Configuration → Connection Strings.
