Tip: Keeping Contact Information Readily Available On Basecamp Is Easy And Desirable

If you use Basecamp for notes, calendaring and collaboration purposes, you will want to keep particular information, such as contact information on your client, court and opposing counsel readily available on this service.  I do this by going to the "Overview" of a case or project I have set up, then clicking on the "Settings" link, which is located on the upper portion of the page on my right hand side.  This takes me to the "Projects Setting" page.  This page contains a "Overview page announcement" section.  In this section I add the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses (which are highlighted so when you click on them it brings up your email client) for my clients, the court and opposing counsel.  I also list such relevant things as the case number, and a brief description of the dispute.  Right under this section there is a check box that says, "Yes, display this announcement on the overview page".  You want to remember to click this box.  Then go to the bottom of the page and click "Save Changes".  The information will then appear on the "Overview" section of this project or case, and will always be available to you and your team no matter where anybody is located.
