Legal Tracker - Linking sites and matters for matter management
You can link Intake iSheets in HighQ to the matter data pulled from Legal Tracker and then work on that joined data in HighQ, so that both HighQ and Legal Tracker are updated with information generated and managed in HighQ.
You can link sites to matters in Legal Tracker; a view is automatically created for each matter in the Matter management iSheet. This view contains the fields from Legal Tracker that are specific
to that matter
.
If a site is linked to one or more matters, then the site provides navigation links so the matter can be opened for quick reference or revisions.
Use the Matter ID in a Join column to link the Matter intake and Matter management iSheets so that financial data from Legal Tracker is linked to the initial request in the Matter intake iSheet
Associate the HighQ site with the Legal Tracker matter (see below) for easier management and navigation
