The service catalog category is created. The catalog categories are listed in the Service catalog category field on the Practice Area form.

What to do next

  • Associate a record producer with the category using the Catalog Item related list.
  • Associate the catalog category with a practice area to map the practice area, record producer, and catalog category together. This mapping helps employees to use the relevant categories to submit legal requests. In turn, these requests are assigned to the correct groups or users through the associated practice area.
