How do You ask for a review of your firm from your clients?

With the year winding down, How do you ask for a review at the end of your matters when they reach their natural conclusion from your clients to ensure you have fresh reviews in 2022? Do you know there is a bunch of different ways you can use Smokeball to do this?Do you use workflows based off the matter closed date and templates pinned to that task in the workflow to do this as apart of your natural offboarding a matter process, ie closing out a hard file if it exists? Do you use the matter archiving report and go over it at your monthly meeting or when your run reports and look at the report to see what clients you would like to ask to give a review of your firm?Do you use matter stages, with two different stages at the end, one with a hey, thanks for enjoying our firm message if you didn't want a review, and another one asking for a review/ And if you do use this process, do you use the SMS text feature or have it send as a communicate message? Do you have a template to ask for revi

Precedents- Wills

How do you create initial questions when opening a precedent- eg: choose one of two clients in the same matter. Alternatively, how do I make a copy of the original smokeball precedent with those questions already and create a personalised document.

Multiple Plaintiffs in PI Case

Our office is new to Smokeball.  If we have a PI case, two clients in same accident (driver/passenger) do you all create one matter and have two plaintiffs or do you create two matters?  Since they are both clients, we are trying to figure out the best way to handle this?  Any help is appreciated.

UI design causing frustration with less tech savvy employees.

I hope this reaches the UI/UX team eventually. The way the matter windows are set up is causing unnecessary frustration. Unless you are using a vertical monitor, the current layout makes no sense. The files tab floats over the matter details and can only be moved vertically. This makes it so you can’t really look at both the matter details and the files at the same time. You have to drag the files tab all the way to the bottom get a good look at the matter details or drag the files tab all the way up to get a good look at all the files.With the files tab dragged to the middle of the screen you can see only a few matter detail lines and files with out scrolling. Some of our older employees zoom in on their screens which makes this even worse as they can only see a few lines and files with out having to scroll. Not being able to simultaneously view the matter details and list of files is causing unnecessary frustration. . Simply having the matter details and files arranged side by side w
