Activities

The Activities module is the essential tool for financial and operational management, allowing you to meticulously track, categorize, and quantify every unit of time, expense, and flat fee associated with your legal practice. This module is the central repository for recording all billable and non-billable efforts, ensuring accuracy in client invoicing, compliance with fee agreements, and precise analysis of firm profitability.

The primary Activities screen is divided into two tabs—Activities and Categories—and provides a comprehensive, chronological ledger of all entries. This structured view enables immediate actions such as Adding Time, Adding Expenses, or recording a Flat Fee. You are empowered to efficiently review, filter, and manage these records, utilizing the displayed metrics to maintain transparent and auditable financial records across all your matters.
