Limitation Events
The Limitation Events routine allows the user view event schedules for specific Clients, Matters, and/or Timekeepers. The Limitation Events that are displayed in this routine are as entered through the Client File Case Schedules routine, which is accessed through the Maintain Matter Information routine. The Client File Case Schedules routine takes the Matter Templates that are established and maintained in the Maintain Case Templates routine and applies the Templates to Matters. The Templates consist of Phases and Events that are involved in a particular type of Matter. In the Client File Case Schedules routine, each Event in the Template is given a date on which it must occur, thus setting a schedule for the entire Matter. It is this schedule that the user can view through this routine.
When the Limitation Events routine is accessed from the eQuinox main menu, the screen shown below will be displayed.
