Completing and Editing Tasks
Tasks are essential for managing your firm's responsibilities related to each matter. Each task includes a due date and other pertinent details. To optimize task management, ensure that users stay updated on their assigned tasks and mark them as completed when done. There are several different ways that you can go about creating and assigning tasks for your users, learn more about that here.
