Hold Actions
Matters can be put on hold by clicking the Hold Actions hyperlink in the Modules Navigation Bar.
When placing a record on hold, you have limited editing and deleting capability. Holds do not prevent new information from being added to the record (i.e. text, documents, etc.).
Place a Matter on Hold

- Click the
icon to select a start date. - Select an individual as lead from the "Hold Administrator" drop-down list.
- Optionally, notes or instructions for the hold can be added to the "Hold Notes" text field.

The hold categories are customized in Lawtrac's Application Administration, so if you do not see the appropriate hold type for your matter record, contact your site administrator.

icon.
