The "Matters" section is your go-to for managing your Legatics matters. Discover information about your matters, and take actions on them, all from one convenient location.


What tables are in the matters section?


We breakout your matters into separate tables, so the data is easier to manage 🥳

Live matters

Gain a bird's-eye view of all live matters. This table provides a snapshot of essential matter details, including who created the matter and when it was last active.

Demo matters

These are a great way for users to test Legatics. But you'll want to be sure that they aren't being used for client matters. And the demo matters table is your place to do that!

Bin matters

These are matters that have been deleted by a Matter Admin or System Admin, but haven't yet been deleted from the system. Deleted matters sit in the bin for 60 days before being permanently deleted by our system. They can be restored by a System Admin before the 60 day period is up!

Deleted matters

Matters that have been in the bin for longer than 60 days appear here. It's a shame when this happens, as we delete almost all data about the matter (and you lose lots of the valuable data stored in the matter).

But don't worry, we keep some of the metadata (being all of the data in the Matters Report) so that you can still drive analytics and reports.

Prior to 14 February 2024, when a matter was deleted all data was deleted. So any matters deleted prior to this date won't appear in this table.


What data is in the tables?


The tables focus on providing high-level information, so you can quickly understand if you need to take action on a matter. More detailed information about each matter is available in the Matters Report.

To make it easier to navigate the table, only certain data is displayed by default. Simply pressing "Display columns" lets you see more data if you need it!

What actions can I take on matters?


Streamline matter oversight by adding administrators with just a few clicks.

Get an understanding of each matter, without needing to be admin of that matter. With the "View Matters" you can see into any matter, ensuring that you stay informed about every matter.

Maintain matter hygiene by easily removing unnecessary matters. The "Delete Matters" function empowers you to declutter and refine your environment, keeping it organized and focused on what truly matters.

Was a matter accidently deleted? No problem, all deleted matters sit in the bin for 60 days. You can restore a matter at any time before the end of that period!
