How to Navigate Intake Details/Case Details Follow

This article will review over how to navigate the Intake Details section in a lead record, as well as the Case Details section in a case record.

Intake Details

When you first enter a Lead record, you will be in the Intake Details tab. This tab contains a few sections that highlight the primary details related to the record:

• Type of Case Details- If an administrative user has configured any Intake/Case Form fields to display in the Intake Screen, those fields will appear at the very top of the page.
  
  
  
  
• Intake Information- This section appears directly beneath the Type of Case Details. However, if no Intake/Case Form fields were added to the Intake Screen, then this will be the first section you will see at the top of the page. In this section you will find details about the lead’s case type, the marketing source that created the record, the current status, the Assignee and Owner, and more.
  
  
  
  
• Contact Information- This section appears in the upper-right corner of the page and provides a basic view of the lead’s contact information (phone number, email, address, and language).
  
  
  
  If you ever need to edit the contact information, click on the green pencil icon that appears to the right of the Primary Contact name in the upper-left corner of the page (directly above the Intake Details tab). After making changes to the Contact Card, be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the pop-up and click the "Save" button to apply your edits.
  
  
  
  
  
• Related- If the Primary Contact of the record has been associated with another record in the portal, you will see the relationship in this section (which appears right beneath the Contact Information section). For example, if the Contact of the record has been added as the Defendant on another record, the potential conflict will be flagged.
  
  
  
  
• Additional Contacts- This section allows you to associate Contacts with a record. For example, you can add an individual's spouse or insurance company to easily access their contact information. This section appears right below the Related

• Firms and Fee Splits- This section is located below the Calendar Event Tracker section and allows you to keep track of any referrals related to the record, as well as any fee splits. If a referral has been sent via the Refer a Case feature, you will see that in this section and you will also be able to track the status of the referral.
  
  
  
  If you are adding a fee split for a co-counsel firm, you may manually add that firm to your record. Click on the “Add Firm” button in the upper-right corner of the section. In the pop-up that appears, you will be able to select the firm from the existing list of Firms in the portal. You can also override the fee share % or flat fee amount if needed.
