Concept and required permission
In-line editing allows you to treat the matter list a little more like a spreadsheet in that you can switch the grid/list into an 'Editable' mode and make changes directly to some matter fields, without having to open the matter to do so.
Typically if you have access to the matter (i.e. it is visible to you in your grids) then you have the ability to edit it using in-line editing. It is not mandatory to join the matter to make it editable. In fact, for efficient intake management and allocation of matter managers, it is advisable to edit without joining every matter.
Firstly, ensure that you have the below permission enabled:
Do note that this permission is available to the following roles only:
In-house Legal
Matter Manager (LSP)
Org Admin
When you have the necessary editing permission, a pencil icon will be visible at the top right corner of your grid screen. Click this to enter the 'Editable' mode.
How it works
After switching the grid into 'Editable' mode, pencil icons will become visible next to any editable field. You can then simply click on the relevant icon to modify that field.
Clicking anywhere outside the edited field box or hitting the 'Enter' key will confirm and save the changes you made to the field.
