Managing Activity Groups in eXpd8

Located at the bottom of the Brief page, this section allows the user to create any number of topics/groups that can be used to group the activities included in the Document Merge and also to be used as divider pages.

Creating Topics/Groups within the Document Merge screen of a Litigation file, will result in those Topics/Groups being available for use in any/all files within that Category.

Topics/Groups must first be created in the Document Merge screen to be available to use within the Activity screen of the same file.
