Matters Overview

In Actionstep, the Matters workflow is used to streamline your case and project management. It provides a comprehensive, centralized area for tracking all aspects of a case, including client information, documents, emails, tasks, appointments, and billing. 

Each matter in Actionstep acts as a unique file that consolidates pertinent details and workflows, enabling you to efficiently manage your caseload. Matters can be tailored to your specific practice areas and processes, ensuring that all relevant data is easily accessible and organized. 

In Actionstep, a matter can also be referred to as any of the following:
