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. ​

As of February 2023, 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.

Please ensure Legal Tracker integration and  Legal Tracker near real-time sync are enabled.

Preparing Legal Tracker iSheets

If you have not set up the Legal Tracker Matter intake and Matter management iSheets, please check the Legal Tracker integration is enabled.

 

Example: Map Legal Tracker fields to iSheet columns:

Joining the Matter intake and Matter management iSheets

You can join the Matter intake iSheet with the Matter management iSheet for improved management:

Click Add / Edit under Columns for the Matter management iSheet. 

Add a Join column that links to the Matter intake iSheet.

For example, use Matter ID as the Column name, Matter intake as the Link name, select Legal Traker - Matter intake in the List of sheet drop-down. Use the Default display view and no Join conditions are required.

 

Associating matters with a site

For enhanced management and navigation, you can link Legal Tracker matters and HighQ sites.

You can link many matters to a single site, or many sites to a single matter.

Open the site Admin module, then select General under Site settings.

Scroll down and select Connect to a matter:

The Connect to a matter in Legal Tracker window shows all available matters.

You may need to log in to Legal Tracker to access the list of matters; you only see matters if you have appropriate permissions in Legal Tracker.

Select the matters to associate with the current site, then click Save.

Associated matters are added to the Matter no field:

Click Save to apply your changes.

When you save, if this is the first matter, the Legal Tracker view is created with the required columns. When further matters are linked, columns for the new matter are added to the existing Legal Tracker view.

Viewing associated matters in the Matter management iSheet

Open the iSheets module and, if necessary, open the Legal Tracker - Matter management iSheet.

Click the name of the view to only see columns from that view.:

Adding further joins
