Matter Dashboard

What Is the Matter Dashboard?

The Matter Dashboard is Legalica's central nervous system — a unified workspace where every case, document, deadline, and client interaction converges. Built on a modular drag-and-drop architecture, it lets each lawyer construct their ideal workspace from 15+ specialized widgets.

Unlike generic project management tools adapted for legal use, the Matter Dashboard is purpose-built for legal workflows. It understands that a lawyer's workspace isn't just tasks and dates — it's statutes of limitations, filing deadlines, client communications, document versions, registry searches, compliance alerts, and AI-generated insights, all competing for attention.

The dashboard integrates natively with Google Workspace (Calendar, Tasks, Drive, Meet) while connecting to every other Legalica module — AI Assistant conversations, drafted documents, Identity Hub searches, KYC reports, and compliance alerts all surface in context-aware widgets.

Drag-and-Drop Widget System

The dashboard uses a responsive grid system where widgets can be:

• Dragged to any position via smooth physics-based interactions
• Resized across 4 width tiers (1×1, 2×1, 1×2, 2×2 grid units)
• Minimized to icon-only status bars
• Maximized to full-screen focus mode
• Duplicated across multiple dashboard tabs
• Customized with per-widget settings and filters

Widget Categories

Dashboard Tabs

Create unlimited named dashboard tabs for different contexts:

• "Active Litigation" — Matter list + deadlines + document queue + calendar
• "Corporate Matters" — KYC status + registry watchlist + client directory
• "Morning Briefing" — AI insights + today's calendar + priority tasks + alerts
• "Deep Work" — Full-screen AI assistant + notes + document editor

Google Calendar Integration

Two-way synchronization with Google Calendar via OAuth 2.0:

• Pull: Calendar events appear as deadline widgets with color-coded matter assignment
• Push: Legalica deadlines (statutes, filing dates, court dates) sync to Google Calendar
• Conflict resolution: Smart duplicate detection with merge or keep-separate options

Calendar Widget Features

• Multi-calendar support — Display personal, firm-shared, and matter-specific calendars

• Deadline overlay — Statute of limitations and critical filing dates highlighted
• Quick-add — Create calendar events from any widget with matter auto-tagging
• Meeting prep cards — Hover any event to see linked documents, client info, and AI-generated meeting brief

Statute of Limitations Tracking

The most critical deadline widget — automatic SOL calculation:

• Jurisdiction-specific limitation periods pre-loaded (324 jurisdictions)
• Trigger date capture (incident date, contract breach date, discovery date)
• Tolling event tracking (if applicable)
• Visual countdown with amber/red urgency indicators
• Cross-matter SOL conflict warnings

Google Tasks Integration

Two-Way Task Sync

Google Drive Integration

File Operations

• Browse Google Drive folders directly within dashboard widgets
• Open documents in Google Docs/Sheets/Slides with one click
• Upload Legalica-drafted documents to Drive with matter-organized folder structure
• Import Drive files into Legalica document drafting for AI-assisted editing
• Sync document status between platforms (draft → review → final → archived)

Matter-Organized Structure

Legalica can automatically maintain a Google Drive folder structure:

/Legalica/
  /[Matter Name] - [Client]/
    /01-Drafts/
    /02-Final/
    /03-Research/
    /04-Correspondence/
    /05-Registry/

Version Management
