Understanding Key Concepts
Cases vs. Contacts
- Case: A legal matter you're handling (e.g., "Smith Personal Injury")
- Contact: A person associated with one or more cases
A single client can have multiple cases, and a case can have multiple clients.
Lists
Lists are collections of cases used for:
- Running campaigns
- Bulk operations
- Reporting
You can create dynamic lists (auto-update based on filters) or static lists (manually selected cases).
Forms and Tasks
- Tasks: Individual items to collect or complete
- Forms: Collections of tasks organized into sections
Forms are assigned to cases, and clients complete the tasks within them.
