Team preset filter
In order to enhance the search capabilities for your legal experts, you have the option to set up preset filters in Lexis® Create DMS based on user groups. A preset filter will allow users to narrow down their search, making them search within a subset of data tailored to their needs and improving the relevance of search results.
Preset filters are configured on a firm level and utilize the default (and/or custom) filters in Lexis® Create DMS to define the search parameters. Here are some recommended practices:
- Example 1: One way to enhance search capabilities is by setting up a preset filter based on the practice area in your firm. By organizing legal experts into different teams according to their practice areas, users will automatically see results from their team members. However, users will still have the option to search outside their team if needed.
- Example 2: Let's take the above example a step further. Imagine you want to prioritize search results from senior associates within your firm. You can achieve this by categorizing legal experts into different teams according to their practice areas but pre-filter the search results to only display clauses written by partners and/or senior associates.
