Note: Your Slack Administrator can also pre-approve the LawVu app for use by anyone in your workspace - instructions here.

Before you start, you must sign in LawVu through the Slack app and permit it to access the application.

You will be presented with a matter creation dialog box.

Choose a matter type and fill in the matter creation fields. You can populate all relevant fields for the chosen matter type and remove any attachments if they are not relevant.

Any attachments on the originating message will be saved to the Files tab of the matter.

The content of the originating message will be used to fill in the Objectives field if one is configured for the chosen matter type.

Once you click Create Matter, a message showing details about the new matter is added as a threaded reply against the originating message. You can click View in LawVu to access the newly created Matter in the portal.
