Standard Clauses (Templates)

When entering file notes in Matter Workbench the same clauses/sentences are often used.

The Standard clauses feature allows users to store these frequently used clauses and select them from a list rather than re-typing them each time.  These standard clauses can also be used as a narration when raising a bill.

Standard clauses can be used in the following areas throughout LawMaster by using the icon:

  •         Outlook > New LawMaster email

  •         Matter Workbench

  •         Mail Room Processing > Classify Document Form

  •         Add Folio

  •         Request / Fault

  •         Reprint Bill

  •        Bill (Request)

In order to use this feature the following fields must be defined in the BC Standard clauses parameter

  • Clauses No – This is a four character alphanumeric code which uniquely identifies this clause.  If you wish to use the F3 shortcut then clause No’s must be one character only e.g. T or 1-9.
  • Remarks – This is a description of the clauses e.g. Telephone Attendance
  • Details – This is where the clauses or sentence which is to be used is added e.g.  Telephone attendance on
  • Document Template – Sets the Document Template when using the standard clauses in Add / Modify Folio, Classify Mail Item and Floating File Note > Save function.
