If you have selected a matter in Advoware the Case Knowledge will automatically be opened in this matter. The Legal Twin Chat is always in the context of the in Advoware selected case.

Case view and matter header

Open the Case Knowledge and - if this has not already been done - choose a matter.

In the case view, you can see all matter data synchronised from Advoware: the documents, participants and events as appointments or deadlines.

The matter header - marked blue in the screenshot - is expandable and provides some more data from the Advoware matter. You can also find the buttons for analysis and analysis history there. Find more information about these later.

If a case was already analysed, you also get some more data about the analysis - the amount of pages that were analysed as well as the date and time of the analysis.

Analysing a case

The first step is always to start an analysis: open the analysis modal and select the documents you want to analyse. You can find the analysis modal in the top right corner next to the matter name.

analysis button

In the analysis modal all documents of a case are automatically pre-selected for analysis - if you want to analyse only individual documents, you can select them using the checkboxes next to the documents. If a case was already analysed before you can also filter for already and not yet analysed documents.

Currently the following document types can be analysed: - PDF - DOC, DOCX - PNG - JPEG - TIFF - XLSX - PPTX

Please save your emails as pdf in the Advoware Aktengeschichte to get them analysed.

As soon as a document hs already been analysed it will always be part of following analyses. As long as there were no changes made in the document since the last analysis, we will reuse the previous analysis and not analyse the document again. The pages of that document will not be deducted from your page quota again when the file is analysed a second time.

To start the analysis click the “Analysieren” button. As soon as the analysis modal closes, analysis is started.

During an analysis you can switch to another matter in Case Knowledge or as well close the Legal Twin®.

Analysis History

Next to the analysis button you find the analysis history.

In this modal you can check previous and current ongoing processings, see error messages and get some more data on a processing.

This modal may not be very important to you as a user in your day-to-day work, but it provides us with valuable additional information when errors occur.
