Clio Manage Matters Overview

Have more questions? Submit a request

In Clio, a matter is a legal case. All your case work in Clio will be tied to a matter file to help you keep track of important case information in one place. You can view case-specific information for a matter by viewing that matter’s page, but you can also view all matters and data in the main Matters page in both Clio Grow and Clio Manage.

Tip: Before adding matters to Clio, set up your matter numbering scheme. With the matter number scheme, you can decide how you want matter numbers and descriptions to appear.

View all matters in overview page

In Clio Manage, matters can be in any one of three states—open, pending, and closed. Open matters are active cases. Pending matters can be cases that you will close soon or cases that you are considering taking on. Closed matters are cases that have been completed. You can view matters by status once they have been created or imported in the main Matters page:

  1. Go to Matters.
  2. Select one of the All, Open, Pending, or Closed quick filters to view matters by status.
  3. Optional: Click Columns to view specific columns. You can also drag and rearrange columns and click each column to sort ascending or descending parameters.
  4. Optional: Click Filters to sort by filters. Learn more about filters and exporting here.
