December 11 All Courts Introducing the PACFile 'Refresh' The UJS Web Portal, which is the website you use to access PACFile, is undergoing a technology refresh. This 'refresh' is a comprehensive upgrade to the website that ensures the ongoing security and best possible experience for everyone. In the refreshed PACFile, you will find that you can continue to do all the things you could before with some minor differences. The most notable of these differences include the following: Using the Recommended Web Browser When you start using the refreshed PACFile, use Google Chrome Expanded Menu Options The use of the PACFile option in the navigation bar has been expanded so you can perform more actions without being required to visit your Dashboard. Primarily, this includes options to access the case initiating and case filing wizards. In addition, the My Profile option is now your exclusive home to manage your proxy relationships, access codes, and pro hac vice sponsorships (for Pennsylvania bar attorneys). Lastly, by popular request, a copy of the Terms and Conditions you accepted when you first began using PACFile is now accessible for your continued reference.
Reorganized Dashboard Your Dashboard is the landing spot and starting point for many of the things you can do in PACFile.

Beginning December 11, all of your unread notifications, regardless of type, are grouped together in a single grid appearing directly on your Dashboard. This "inbox" allows you to view, delete, or forward (if applicable) these notifications as you did before. The Settings icon
To view all your notifications, read and unread, use the Notifications link in the More Actions section of your Dashboard. Working with Icons Many of the buttons and links that you previously used to add, edit, delete, or view, have been replaced by clickable icons that perform the same action. These icons typically appear within a grid to view or edit an individual row. They may also appear above a grid to add a row or edit rows in batch. If you're not sure what action an icon performs, hover your mouse pointer over it (see image at right). The following represents just a few of the icons you will see:
There are also some non-clickable icons that indicate a specific characteristic for a grid row. These include the following:
PACFile Help If you have used PACFile in the past, much of the application should remain familiar to you. If you need additional assistance, however, regardless of your experience level, click the Help link that appears in the upper-right corner of any PACFile screen.

for the best experience. While Chrome is recommended for all the refreshed features on the UJS Web Portal, you can use all other browsers with success (i.e. Edge, Firefox, Safari, etc.).
