Overview

A Resource is a group of users within the Legal Firm who are able to access and action Orders and Invoices within a certain business or operational unit.  For example, different resource groups may be set up to manage matters associated to different Panel types.

Linking Resources to each other by Roles is a key feature of how LPG works.  The following examples show how different workflows can be modelled using Workgroups and Roles:

• Example A - The Allocators are linked only to Operators in the same Resource. In this instance, the Allocator can only assign Orders to their own Resource.

• Example B - The Allocators are linked to multiple Operations groups. In this instance, the Allocator must select which Operations resource group will manage the order after they accept it.
