Close Matter
Once a matter has reached its conclusion, whether through resolution, completion of tasks, or fulfillment of legal obligations, you can formally close it within the system.
To close a matter:
- Navigate to the Matters section from the left-hand menu.
- Open any specific matter by clicking its title.
- Click the Close Matter button visible in the top-right corner.
Note: The Close Matter button will be visible if your role has the appropriate permissions and the matter is not already marked as “Closed”.
- Select the closure date and click Confirm. By default, it opens to the current date, but you can adjust it to reflect when the matter was actually completed.
- Once closed:
- The Close Matter button is replaced with a Reopen Matter option.
- The reporting status of this matter becomes disabled.
