Multiple Views for Rocket Matter Atlas
Rocket Matter’s beautiful, redesigned interface now lets you choose between Multiple Viewing Options! My Dashboard now features a “Calendar-centric” view, and a “Task-centric” view. Firm Calendars can now be displayed in “Fit events” view, and “Show all events” view. The choice is yours!
New Features

Multiple Timers can now be run in the web version of Rocket Matter.
