What are Matter Templates?

Matter Templates make it easy to automate your workflow when creating Matters and their associated activities.  

Matter Templates can be used in two ways:

1.  Matter Templates can be used to create a new Matter. When you apply a Matter Template during the process of creating a brand-new Matter,  you can instantly populate your Matter with predesignated Matter specifications, and a workflow of Tasks and Events.

2.  Matter Templates can also be applied to an existing Matter. When Matter Templates are applied to an existing Matter, you can overlay your existing Matter details, and populate your Matter with a workflow of Tasks and Events.

NOTE: Naming your Matter Templates accurately, as well as writing a good description, helps distinguish between Matter Templates intended for new Matters, and those intended for existing Matters.
