Introduction to Focus Matters

Focus Matters is a list of Matters exclusively relevant to the current logged in AdvoLogix user and is derived from the user's relationship to the Matter. The Matter relationship criteria can be customized and is generally defined by record ownership or Matter participation.

Prior to the AdvoLogix Spring 2017 release Focus Matters was referred to as My Matters.

What criteria are used to determine Focus Matters?

  1. The active User is the Owner of the underlying Matter record.
  2. The active User has been added to the list of Participants associated with the underlying Matter.
