LEAP Tips & Tricks for a seamless transition

While you adjust to the changes, you can use the following existing LEAP tools to aid in the transition:


Assign Favorite Matter Types

Assigning Favorite Matter Types will ensure all your commonly used Matter Types will always appear at the top of the Matter Type navigation pane. This will provide easy access to the Matter Types you most commonly use. Visit our Help Center for instructions: Assign a Favorite Matter Type.


Matter Type Search

You can utilize the Search feature at the top of the Matter Type navigation pane to search any existing matter type available in LEAP. Searching for a key word will produce the results of all matter types containing that key word and does not limit the search. From the search results, you can navigate directly to the Matter Type of your choice.
