Objective:

• Generate Bills using a specific Bill Theme
• Can I Assign a Bill Theme to a Matter?
• Determine if a Matter can have it's own specific Bill Theme

Environment:

• Clio Manage

Additional Information:

• There is currently no automatic way to associate a specific Bill Theme to a Matter or Client. However, the section below is a workaround that can guide you through setting up a Matter Custom Field that you can use when bulk generating Bills that should have a specific Bill Theme assigned to them. Essentially you can set it up so that all Matters with the same Custom Field value have the same Bill Theme applied.
