Overview
ZenCase allows administrators who have access to Firm Settings to create Custom Records. Custom Records are user defined records that are customizable, filterable, and sortable fields displayed in a custom table. Each custom record can be added to a matter. If you set a matter type on a custom record, then the custom record will be added to the matter with that specific matter type by default.
