((Auto-Fill and Standard are in one Video)) How-to Creating an "Auto-fill" Process

This How-to will cover creating an auto-fill process in your Prevail system.

You use an auto-fill process when all of the steps in your process center around one specific date (the "anchor date" in Prevail terminology).

For example, you could set up a "hearing preparation" process to use when you learn the hearing date for a matter. (In this example, the hearing date would be the "anchor date".) The process can automatically schedule tasks (such as a task for the case manager to order updated medical records) to complete prior to the hearing.
