The Reports module provides a way to create reports and generate documents incorporating information from eCounsel. Some of the documents available also are available from certain tabs. These tab-specific documents generate documents based on information available to that tab.

Documents generated using Mitratech’s hosted HotDocs Server must be saved to the Documents tab in order to retain a permanent copy. The generated documents directory on the hosted HotDocs Server is purged daily.

To Generate a Document from a Tab:

1. On the tab, click the Reports button.
   
2. Click on the Documents tab.
3. Select a report from the Tab-specific Documents list.
   
4. Click Run.
5. Follow the steps below.

To Generate a Document:

1. On the Reports List page, click on the Documents tab.
2. Select the appropriate document and click the Run button.
   
3. Depending on the type of document selected, you may be prompted to specify an entity, matter, or person. Select the check box(es) of the appropriate entity (matter or person) and click Continue.
