Creating Your First Client, Case, and Task

The fastest way to configure your workspace is to complete three foundational steps right after signing in: add a client, create your first matter, and schedule your first task or court date.

Step 1: Add Your First Client

  1. Open Clients in the left navigation menu.
  2. (1) Click + Add in the top-right corner to create an individual or corporate client record with tax ID, address, phone, and email.
  3. (2–3) Use table filters and the Profile / Card link anytime to view that client’s matters, billing summary, and shared documents.

  3. (2) Under Parties, click + Add Party to attach your client and enter the Opposing Party.
  4. (3–4) Select the Court, Judge, and Court Docket Number, then click Save Case.
