Using Several Tabs and Accounts

In Outlaw Practice, each browser tab holds its own sign-in. Reloading a tab keeps it signed in. Signing in or out in one tab doesn’t sign another tab in or out.

Different Accounts in Different Tabs

Because each tab signs in on its own, you can use different accounts side by side: for example, your own account in one tab and a second firm’s account in another.

Each account’s work stays separate. Changes waiting to sync, unsaved drafts, and the data Outlaw keeps in your browser are stored for each firm and user, so work done in one account never ends up in another. The support messenger in each tab also uses that tab’s account.

If you have several tabs open on the same account, they share that account’s waiting changes, and only one of them sends them to the server at a time. See Working Offline.

When a Tab’s Session Ends

If a tab’s sign-in expires or has to be confirmed again, that tab locks and shows Sign in again:

This tab’s session has ended. Your queued work stays on this device. Sign in with the same account to continue.

Choose Sign in again and sign in with the same account the tab was using. The tab then picks up where it left off. If you sign in with a different account, the tab stays locked and asks you to use the same one, so one person’s unsaved work never opens under someone else’s account.

The lock screen also has a Log out button. Like the normal Log Out, it waits if you have edits that aren’t saved yet, and tells you why.

Signing Up in a Signed-In Tab

You can’t start a new Outlaw Practice sign-up in a tab that’s already signed in. Outlaw asks you to open sign-up in a new tab, or to log out of this tab after saving your work.

If Your Account Is Suspended

If an administrator suspends your account while you’re working, your tab locks right away and a message tells you to contact your firm administrator. You can then choose whether to clear your account’s preferences from this browser (such as task filters and dashboard settings) or keep them. Either way, the tab stays locked. Clearing preferences doesn’t remove changes waiting to sync or unsaved drafts, and it doesn’t sign out other tabs.
