✨ Brand new administration system

This article explains how to access the system

Legatics already has an Administration System, which provides information about your matters and users. Since its launch in April 2022, we’ve heard requests for more data and more control over matters and users.

Our new administration system is designed to answers these requests! This isn't just a cosmetic upgrade, it's a strategic enhancement crafted to simplify your administrative experience and provide you with the features you need to manage Legatics.

Welcome to a new era of administrating Legatics. We hope you enjoy it.

📊 Dashboard

You can now, in a single glance, get an understanding of how many matters and users you have on Legatics.

Overwhelmingly, customer demand has been focused on extracting data. To get these data extracts to you as quickly as possible, we’ve only included a simple dashboard in this version. We will expand this in the future.

📃 Reports

We currently have a “Matters” and “Users” report. We’ve kept these reports, significantly expanded the datapoints available (25 extra data points for matters, 11 extra data points for users) and added the ability to download the reports in JSON (in addition to CSV, which already exists).

We’ve also added two new reports (downloadable in CSV and JSON), being:

  • Lists report - a JSON extract of certain data in a list

  • Activity report - a JSON or CSV extract logging every time someone viewed one of your matters

Finally, we’ve moved all the extracts into one convenient location.

📦 Matters

We've significantly improved this page so that you:

  • Separate tables: Get separate tables for “Live matters”, “Demo matters” and “Deleted matters”

  • Extra datapoints: Have more information to understand your matters, including the number of documents and lists in the matter

  • Decide what data to see: Can decide what data you want to view in your table

We've also added a number of new actions to matters, so that you can:

  • Add matter admins to your matters

  • View matters to check up on them

  • Delete matters to keep your environment tidy

👱 Users

We've significantly improved this page so that you:

  • Separate tables: Get separate tables for “Members", “Guests”, “Deactivated" and "Unassigned" users

  • Extra datapoints: Have more information to understand users, including the number of matters they've created

We've also added a number of new actions to users, so that you can:

  • Deactivate: stop anyone from accessing your data, at anytime

  • Assign permissions: easier assign permissions to one of your members

  • Manage unassigned members: who were created before your environment was set-up

♻️ Retention of data when matter is deleted

Previously, when a matter was deleted, all data about the matter was deleted. We’ve changed this. Now, when a matter is deleted, limited metadata is retained about the matter (being all the data in your “Matters” report). This enables us to provide you with a historical record of all matters created in Legatics, and ensures core data is retained for your analytics.

🔎 Audit trail

We've added an extensive audit trail to the Administration System. This records all of the actions a System Administrator takes in the system. This ensures that any actions (like viewing a matter, adding a Matter Admin, or deleting a matter) are logged and can be interrogated at any time.

The audit trail is only downloadable as a CSV file. We don’t display the logs in the Administration System yet.

December 2022


✉️ Email notifications for new matters

We know that you need to keep on-top of new matters. That's why every System Administrator now receives an email notification when a new matter is created.

📤 Export data

All of the data about your Matters and User can now be downloaded into a CSV file! We hope that this helps you visualise how Legatics is growing at your company, and where the power users are!

💽 More datapoints

We added some additional datapoints about your matters and users, specificallyL

  • Last activity (matters): The last date when any user viewed the matter or performed an action in the matter. This should help you identify what matters are in constant use!

  • Last active (users): The last date when your users had an active session on Legatics (ie the last time they were in the application)


April 2022


Our vision for Legatics 2 is to allow you to self-serve your data needs. That’s why we have built the Legatics Administration System. It enables you to see lots of data on your matters and users).

📦 Matters

The matters table provides you, at a glance, with all the data you need to understand usage.

👱 Users

The users table provides you, at a glance, with all the data you need to understand who has access to your data.
