The LawVu default fields are available to all matters and contracts by default.
​

These fields are contained in the Field library and are hooked to core functionality within the LawVu platform - so you'll get the most out of LawVu if you use these fields rather than create your custom fields.

In this article:

To manage the fields for your organization, you will need to be an Administrator.

The fields are all listed in a 'Field library', which you can manage from the Settings/Field Management area of LawVu.

Yes - you can change the label of any LawVu default fields to align more with your organization's terminology - but you can only do this when editing from a matter or contract type level. You cannot change the label of a LawVu field at the 'global' level.

You can override the hints, & descriptions, and placeholders of fields by unlinking them from their master field properties (set in the global field library).

NOTE: You can never change the field name; however - you can specify a different label for the field, but ONLY in the Create Form tab of the Matter Type /Contract Tab - see below.

You should only create a new custom field if you can't add a LawVu default field that matches your needs.

Please review the list below before you start creating new fields - and then check out this article about creating custom fields.

Below is a list of the fields contained in the field library. These fields can then be dragged from the field library and applied to your Matter/Contract Types. These fields are not mandatory; however, if selected, the field names and types are fixed and non-editable. Some LawVu fields have special powers or contribute to the Standard reporting.
