The power user has made settings in the software that affect all matters. These settings, as well as any customer-level settings, can be overridden for each matter using the Parameters button found on the ribbon of the matter list and matter window.

The button opens a list of all matter-level parameters, which can be used to control transaction handling, pricing, general expense, invoicing period, preliminary invoice, invoice printout content, service restriction alerts, and document archiving. You can specify, for example, the default transaction type, hour price, or invoicing period for the matter. 

By selecting “Show Defined Parameters,” you can view all parameters inherited from settings or already defined for the matter. 

You can edit the parameters in the window for the matter and save them with the OK button, which overrides both the general settings and the parameters set in the customer’s information.
