Foundations: Essentials

The objective of Foundations: Essentials training is to build on everything you learned in Foundations: Basics and introduce additional features that can take your firm to the next level.

Activity Tracking Overview

 

Activity Tracking is like a pedometer that helps you remember everything you are doing throughout the day, including events, tasks, documents, emails, memos, and even matter administration.
