Video Link: Closing or Deleting Prospects or Matters
Closing a prospect or matter does not remove them from your system, it simply changes the Tab Header to say “closed” instead of “open”. The only way to remove a prospect or matter from your system is by deleting them.
Note: There are only two good reasons to delete a matter: 1) it was created by mistake, or 2) it was just a place for testing and/or practice, such as a sample matter that came with the program.
