Repositories

[Kerry F]

How do you all feel about uploading jobs to repositories?  Sometimes I find they go smoothly and others I find it very time-consuming and some software repositories are easier to use than others.  I have often found that all the attorney names that are supposed to be in the suppositories are not there.  Is there any advantage of repositories for the reporter?

[Janiece Young]

Some of them are confusing for me also.  I had one the other day that was really user friendly.  If I did it all the time, it would be simple but I don't do it that often.

The other problem I run into is the special circumstances that you need to communicate and there is no place to convey the special request the attorney made.

It's a giant time-consuming nuisance.   I try once and that's it.  Then I just go the traditional route of emailing everything.  Actually I do that even when the online turn-in site actually works.   They hang up and don't usually have the atty names.  I'm very leery of having too much of time eaten up by these so that's why I give it one good try and then the first instance of "uh oh; I'm in for it now," I abort and go to email.

But some firms insist that you use the repository if you want to get paid.

[Marge Teilhaber (TILE hobber)]

If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.  I suppose I would just keep clicking continue even though it's possibly not complete if it's hanging up and then email it all and explain that the site isn't cooperating.    It's a problem!

Call the agency.  Have them walk you through it or send you screen-shot instructions.  Once you learn how to do it, it's easy-peasy (at least for RB).

[Judy]

I've only worked with RB and, as Amanda said, it's easy-peasy.

[Kerry F]

RB is the one I have the most trouble with...................the others are easy for me.
