Practice Management / Operations

MyDocSafe includes Practice Management tools that help your team manage internal work, client tasks and day-to-day operations in one place.

The feature is designed to help you keep track of who is responsible for what, what needs to happen next, and which client or matter each task relates to.

What can you use Practice Management for?

You can use Practice Management to organise and monitor work such as:

  • client onboarding

  • document collection

  • internal reviews

  • follow-up actions

  • compliance checks

  • e-signature preparation

  • client service tasks

  • recurring operational processes

Instead of tracking tasks in separate spreadsheets, emails or notes, your team can manage work directly inside MyDocSafe, alongside the relevant clients, portals, documents and workflows.

Tasks

Tasks are the core building block of Practice Management.

A task can be created for a specific piece of work and assigned to a team member. Each task can include useful details such as:

  • task title

  • description

  • assignee

  • due date

  • status

  • related client or portal

  • comments

  • supporting information

This makes it easier to see what needs to be done, who owns it, and whether it is still outstanding.

Assigning work to team members

Tasks can be assigned to specific users in your organisation.

This helps managers and team members understand responsibility clearly. Instead of relying on informal email chains or verbal instructions, each task has a clear owner.

Team members can use their task list to see what is assigned to them and prioritise their work.

Comments and collaboration

Tasks can include comments, allowing team members to discuss progress, ask questions or record decisions.

This keeps the conversation attached to the task itself, rather than scattered across emails or messaging tools. It also creates a useful history of what happened and why.

Templates

If your team regularly performs the same type of work, you can use task templates to save time.

Templates help standardise common processes, such as onboarding a new client, preparing documents for signature, or completing internal checks.

Using templates helps ensure that important steps are not missed and that work is handled consistently across the team.

Time tracking

Practice Management may also include time tracking tools, allowing users to record time spent on tasks.

This can be useful for:

  • understanding how long work takes

  • reviewing team workload

  • supporting billing or internal reporting

  • improving operational efficiency

Assigning tasks to clients

Tasks can also be assigned to clients and published in their client portal.

This is useful when you need a client to complete an action, such as uploading a document, filling in a form, reviewing information, signing a document, or confirming that something has been completed.

When a task is published in the client portal, the client can see what they need to do from their own portal view. This helps keep client-facing actions organised and reduces the need for separate reminder emails or manual follow-ups.

Client tasks can be used alongside internal tasks, giving your team a clearer view of both sides of the process: what your team needs to do, and what is currently waiting on the client.

Why use Practice Management in MyDocSafe?

Practice Management helps bring together the operational side of your work with the client-facing tools already available in MyDocSafe.

This means your team can manage tasks, portals, documents, forms, workflows and e-signatures from the same system.

The main benefits include:

  • clearer ownership of work

  • fewer missed follow-ups

  • better visibility across the team

  • more consistent processes

  • less reliance on spreadsheets and inboxes

  • a better audit trail of internal activity

Example use case: client onboarding

A typical onboarding process may involve several steps:

  1. Create a client portal.

  2. Request documents from the client.

  3. Review submitted information.

  4. Prepare an engagement letter.

  5. Send documents for e-signature.

  6. Complete internal compliance checks.

  7. Mark the onboarding process as complete.

Using Practice Management, each of these actions can be represented as a task, assigned to the right person, tracked to completion, and discussed internally where needed.

Getting started

To get started, open the Practice Management or Operations area in MyDocSafe and create your first task.

You can then assign the task to a team member, add a due date, include any relevant instructions, and update the status as work progresses.

For repeatable processes, consider creating templates so your team can follow the same steps each time.
