Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize the zones for different practice areas?
Yes. Duplicate the template and rename zones — IP litigation firms often add a "Patent Review" zone; corporate firms add "Closing Conditions."
How does the template handle court deadlines?
Milestone cards with hard dates. Connect filing cards to the milestone with depends-on connectors. The AI flags anything at risk of missing the deadline.
Can paralegals and attorneys see different views?
All users see the same canvas but can filter by assignee to focus on their own matters. Partners can view the full board for oversight.
Does it integrate with document management systems?
Link cards to documents in any DMS via URL fields. The card becomes a quick-access point to the relevant filing or brief.
How many matters can one canvas handle?
Up to 200 cards per canvas. Most firms use one canvas per practice group (e.g., all commercial litigation matters) with 15–40 active matters.
