      1. Click add matter from your user dashboard screen.

      2. Type the client name into the global search bar and then enter the new matter name under that client.

      3. Fill in the information on the next screen, including billing method, statute of limitations (if applicable), related contacts and data, and the amount of the initial deposit into the trust account.

      4. The new matter is now active and you will see the trust account balance on the lower right-hand side of the screen, on your matter dashboard.

      5. To add an initial or extra payment for an existing client, simply navigate to the appropriate matter dashboard and click add a payment (located in the trust accounting box on the lower right of your screen).
