Matter Ageing Report

Brief Description

This report shows the average time it takes for matters of a selected matter type to move through each step.

This report displays the step on which a matter currently resides, how many matters are on that step, and how long they have been on that step.

In Actionstep Practice Management, go to Reports > Matter Reports. (Your menu may show Reports > Matter Reports > Reports List.)
In the General section, click Matter Ageing Report. The report is displayed.

Then, refer to these articles for help generating and saving reports for future use:

Age based on: Choose the date model which should be used to calculate the report:
- Matter Created Date reflects the number of days since the creation of the matter.
- Date moved to current step reflects the number of days since the matter was moved to the current step.
Matter Type: Choose the matter type used for report information. The report can only return results for one matter type at a time.
Group By Participant: When set to None, the report will display a single table that includes data for all matters. When a participant type is specified, there will be individual tables for each participant of that type. For instance, selecting Lawyer will display a table for each participant assigned to a lawyer role in a matter.

Step Name: Shows the name of the step associated with the subsequent row data. (Only steps with at least one matter currently on that step will be displayed.)
Days: Shows the number of items in the given range that have been on the corresponding step. For example, if a step lists the number 4 in the 31-60 column, that means four items have been on this step for 31-60 days.

NOTE: Selecting the linked number in the aging column displays a different view of the report, which shows the individual matters, participants, specific step names, and the time they've been on that step.
Total: Displays the total number of matters on the step associated with the row.
