Updated · 1 minute to read Download as PDF

Every new matter needs its client care letter signed and back. Desk starts each one from your own template, keeps track of where it’s up to, and lists the matters still waiting for theirs.

  1. Choose the template

    Go to Settings › Client care

    Under Letter, choose the template it Starts from.

  2. Add your prices

    Under Prices, press Add a price for each one. Choose the kind of work it’s For, give it a Name like “Our fixed fee”, the amount in £ and how it’s Charged, and tick Plus VAT if it applies. Press Save.

  3. Publish your price page

    Tick Publish these prices on a page you can link to from your website and press Save. The page’s address shows underneath, ready to link to.

  4. Write a matter’s letter

    Go to Matters

    Open the matter, choose Client care and press Write it. The letter opens as a draft started from your template. Finish it as you would any document.

  5. Send it for signing

    Back on Client care, press Send for signing. It shows Out for signing until the signed copy comes back, then Signed.

  6. See who’s still waiting

    Go to Client care

    Every open matter without a signed letter is listed with its owner and where its letter is up to.

If something goes wrong

The matter asks you to choose a template first. Nobody has picked the letter’s template yet. An admin chooses it in Settings, under Client care.
