--- title: Application overview summary: Purpose, users, capabilities, and capability matrix for LegalMaintenance. status: draft owner: SAIF Doc Gen last_reviewed: 2026-08-21 --- # Application overview LegalMaintenance is an ASP.NET WebForms front end used by legal team members to administer LegelNet/Legal configuration data: attorney profiles and availability, attorney-to-claim (and attorney-to-policy) assignment, hearing-location reference data, legal persons/other-firm records, and legal print/report generation. ## Purpose - Maintain attorney profile, availability, schedule, and out-of-town rotation data used by the legal department. - Maintain attorney-to-claim and attorney-to-policy assignments, including the task-generation and calendar-sync side effects that follow an assignment. - Maintain hearing-location reference data (locations, location codes, duration codes) used elsewhere in the legal domain. - Maintain legal person and other-firm records used for legal correspondence and case administration. - Generate and distribute legal print/report output (print preview, xPression/SSRS distribution) and submit related batch jobs via Appworx. ##
