Cases - Cases is where you can access all of your Cases/Matters/Files in MyCase. From there, clicking on a particular case will take you to its Case Details page with more information about the case. Learn more about Cases .

Documents - The Documents tab will show you all of the documents (docs, images, videos, etc.) that have been uploaded into MyCase. Documents can be linked to specific cases, or filed as more general "Firm Documents". Documents can also be shared with clients and contacts through a secure login portal.

Billing - The Billing tab is where you go to access the time and billing features of MyCase. These features include trust accounting, time and expense tracking, invoice creation, online payment processing, and more. Learn more about Billing.

Reports - While our Reporting features are still in Beta, they are still quite useful. You can use MyCase Reporting to generate detailed time and billing reports. More reports are coming soon!

Communications - MyCase has an internal messaging system that lets you send and receive messages to staff and/or clients. It has all the functionality that you'd expect from an email system, but with the added security and privacy of MyCase Security. Learn more about Messaging. In addition to MyCase Messaging, the Communications tab includes your Mailbox, Call Log, Text Messages, and Comments.

Leads - The Leads feature in MyCase allows you to easily add and track your leads. Leads look similar to Contacts, in that you can add their personal information and later choose if they should be made a Contact or not. You can also track information on the potential case by adding a lead to the system. When converted, a new case and contact will be added into your account with the corresponding information. Learn more about Leads.
