For eCounsel, you can select the player type and role to be assigned to a person who is listed as the primary client or legal contact for a matter. The options available in these dropdown lists are specified through lookups. Primary legal, client, and vendor contact information is displayed on the Base Info tab in the Matters module.

In addition, you can select the player type and role to be assigned to a person who is listed as the primary vendor contact for a matter. All players with this type and role will receive notifications for matter accrual due dates if the matter accruals feature has been enabled for the specific matter or matters. See “Configuring Accrual Notification Setup Users” on page 213 and “Configuring the Matter Accrual Notification E-mailer Task” on page 357 for additional steps to configure the matter accrual notifications in Suite Manager.
