User Settings Overview
My Settings
Begin by going to the settings page, click the gear icon near the top right
This will immediately take you to the "My Settings" page. On this page you will verify your "Personal Information" is correct and add a profile picture for your user profile.
If you are using Lawmatics for time & billing management, you will also see your User Time and Billing Settings here. These settings allow you to choose a default time entry rate specific to you as a user, as well as different default rates for different billing activity types.
You will also see the option to select a default billing user. If you are often logging time entries or expenses for yourself, then keep yourself selected as the default billing user. If it is more common for you to log entries on behalf of another staff member, feel free to select a different default user accordingly.
As you scroll down the page you will then see the option to add your email signature, as shown below.
It is recommend that you turn on the toggle to include your email signature on emails sent from you so that you are sure not to miss the signature. Note that you can always manually turn off the option to include your signature on an email by email basis as needed.
The system defaults to double spacing your signature, if you do not want your signature to be double spaced, press shift+enter in order to add a line break without skipping a line.
Lastly, if adding an image such as your logo, check the size of the image before pasting it in the text editor. You will usually not want that image to be more than 3 inches wide.
