Overview
This article will help you familiarize yourself with the different tabs and layouts in 8am MyCase.
Left Navigation Pane
Home - This is your Dashboard. It displays "Quick Add" icons to easily add information into MyCase, a Recent Activity stream of the latest firm developments, as well as important alerts and upcoming events tasks. Think of it as home base!
Contacts - Browse all of the clients, companies, and contacts that you and your firm have created.
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!
Shortcuts
Pages are added as shortcuts, appearing as you navigate through MyCase. The five most recently visited pages show up as shortcuts, and you can pin your frequently accessed pages—there's no limit to how many you can pin. To remove a shortcut, simply click the X.
Modules
Payments-The MyCase Payments tab allows you to view all transactions and account activity easily, reducing the time it takes to assess your firm's financial health. You can track and view Payment History, Trust Accounting, Transactions, and Account Activity in the Payments tab. 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. Learn more about Documents.
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.
