  • Updated

00:01: This video will demonstrate how to create a custom Matterscape within CARET Legal.

00:07:

00:07: Matterscapes allow you to customize how your matters are displayed by selecting

00:11: specific columns, filters, and sorting options that fit your workflow.

00:17: To begin, select the Matter icon from the left side navigation menu.

00:22: By default, all users will start in the Standard Matter Master View, which displays

00:27: a list of matters sorted by creation date.

00:32: To access additional views and filters, click the View button.

00:37: From here, you can open Matterscapes created by yourself or other user-shared

00:41: Matterscapes,

00:42: or create a new custom view by selecting Create New View.

00:49: First, enter a name for your Matterscape.

00:52: For this example, we'll create an alphabetical matter list.

00:57: Below, you will see a list of available matter fields and custom fields that can be

01:01: added as columns within your view.

01:04: The matter number field is automatically included since it provides direct access to

01:09: matter details.

01:13: You can choose any combination of fields such as primary client,

01:18: matter name, status and responsible attorney.

01:23: To arrange the order of the columns, simply click and drag the column headers into

01:28: your preferred position.

01:29: You

01:32: may also apply filters using the filter icon beside certain fields.

01:36: For

01:38: this example we'll filter the view by responsible attorney.

01:45: Next choose how you would like the list sorted.

01:47: For an alphabetical list we'll sort the matter by matter name.

01:55: Before saving you will also have the option to mark the Matterscape as shared or

01:59: default.

02:02: Shared allows users in the firm to access the view while default makes this your

02:06: personal default matter view when opening the matter section.

02:14: Once saved the new Matterscape will appear within your available views and can be

02:17: selected at any time.

02:22: If you need to make changes later, simply click the pencil icon besides the

02:27: Matterscape name to edit columns, filters, sorting, sharing options, or just to delete

02:32: the view entirely.

02:34: You can also generate reports directly from the Matterscape using the print icon in

02:39: the upper right corner to export the view as a PDF or a spreadsheet.

02:52: This video has demonstrated how to create and manage a custom matterscape within

02:57: CARET Legal.
