The Hub is your landing page in LawVu. It is a unified space that provides easy access to tools and information that help you be more productive and successful.

The Hub contains an overview of everything you have on the go and lets you quickly and easily see what you have been working on, the items that are waiting for you and require action, and what you've got coming up.

The Hub is designed to be fit for purpose and tailored to each individual's needs through its customizable widgets, so that it only displays information that users care about the most.

To start, click on the Organise button at the top right of your screen to select which widgets you want to be displayed in your Hub view, choosing from Accruals, Actions, Files, Planner, Recent work, Contracts, Matters Views, and To-dos:

Select the checkboxes next to each of them to show/hide them:

We encourage you to rearrange this view so that the most essential information is displayed at the top. Select and drop the widgets to the desired location. If you don't want to see a widget, you can also click on the three vertical dots to remove it.

The widget displays all Legal Service Providers who have submitted their accruals and those who haven't. It also shows the total estimated unbilled spend and the submission window's closing date.

You can star key Matters and Contracts to save them as favorites. This gives you fast, organized access right from your Hub-no need to search or scroll. Use Favorites to keep high-priority work at your fingertips and jump back in whenever you need.

The Favorites tab shows everything you've starred, making it easy to stay focused on what's most important.

The Recents tab displays the Matters and Contracts you've worked on most recently. It updates automatically as you go, giving you instant access to your latest work without needing to bookmark or remember where you left off.

A list of items that shows you at a glance the tasks you need to complete. For each item, you'll immediately see what's required, who assigned it to you, and how long it's been waiting for your attention, which prevents you from being a blocker by ensuring you are aware of your most critical tasks. You can click on these items to see a preview and jump to the relevant matter, contract, or invoice if needed.

Use these widgets to highlight essential information like matters, contracts, or intake requests, drawing from your saved or shared views. They offer convenient, rapid access to your most frequent items directly on the Hub.

Start on the Organise button on the top right of your Hub page.

Then, click the +Add button next to the Contracts/Matters View widgets. Next, select the view that is most useful for you to see at a glance on your Hub's landing page.

For example, adding the 'Not assigned' view seen below will create a widget that shows you all the matters in your saved view of the same name.

You can add as many Matter/Contracts widgets as you like using this process. Here's an animation detailing the process below.

Click on the vertical ellipsis menu and select edit to choose a different view. You can also remove it.

If the grid view you linked to the widget is deleted or unavailable, you'll get a 'No data available' message.

You also have the option to pin any of your saved views on the Hub's page directly from the Matters/Contracts grid. Click on the ellipsis next to the item you wish to pin and select Add to Hub.

Create your personal To-do list via the 'Plus menu.' Sort them by date or drag and drop them in the order you want to see them. As an optional extra, set up alerts on these items if you'd like to receive in-app notifications and emails when they are due.

Use the planner (calendar) to keep an eye on matters & tasks that are due soon, expiring contracts, and personal reminders.

If you would like to read more about the planner, you can review this article.

You can sync your LawVu planner with your Outlook calendar (or another calendar that supports an iCal feed). Please take a look at this article on how to sync the calendar.

This offers you central visibility of your recently viewed files, with the possibility to view them in preview. The 'Open files' button is an entry point to the Hub/Files component.
