MatterMojo getting started guide

Accessing MatterMojo from within Office 365 (Office 365 Users Only)

MatterMojo for Office 365 provides a quick access link for Office 365 in the navigation menu allowing you to easily hop over to Office 365 from within MatterMojo.

The reverse is also possible, but requires each user to add MatterMojo to their Office 365 'Apps launcher' menu. This makes for a more integrated user experience and only takes a second...

1. Once you have signed into MatterMojo at least once, open the apps selection window in Office 365 using the top left navigation button (the one with the nine squares) in Office 365 and click on 'My apps'.


2. From the apps list click on the three dots next to MatterMojo and select 'Pin to app launcher'


3. You can now access MatterMojo quickly and easily from the apps launcher as shown below!


MatterMojo Admin Settings

Before you start using MatterMojo there are a couple of useful administration settings that should be configured based on your law firm's needs. These settings are only available to MatterMojo administrators (you are automatically an administrator if you are the one who signed-up!).

Practice Areas and Work Types

To setup the different categories of work carried out by your organisation, select the 'Configuration' option from the Admin area. This will default to the Practice Area screen where you can add new practice areas and associated work types. This is a category/sub-category structure allowing matters to be categorised and filtered.

To create new practice areas hit the create (plus) button in the 'Practice Areas' header. You can then create work types for that practice area by ensuring it is highlighted and then hitting create (plus) in the 'Work Types' header.

You can also choose to add some default practice areas and adjust them accordingly for your needs by hitting the 'Create Defaults' button.


Note: Once a practice area or work type has been used to categorise a matter it cannot be deleted.

Link Types

When creating links between records in MatterMojo it is possible to assign a link type to make the relationship more meaningful. For example, when creating a link from an organisation to an office address, a link type such as 'Registered Office' could be used. 

To create a new link type select the desired link context and hit the create (plus) button in the 'Link Types' header. You can also specify whether you want to allow many links of this type or just one.

The contexts that can be given a link type are as follows:
  • Person - Address
  • Organisation - Address
  • Matter - Private Client Contact
  • Matter - Organisation Client Contact
  • Matter - Party
  • Party - Private Contact
  • Party - Organisation Contact

You can also choose to add some default link types for each type of link and adjust them accordingly for your needs by hitting the 'Create Defaults' button.

Getting the most out of your Office 365 Azure Active Directory

If you already have an Azure subscription for managing your Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) you are ready to sign-up for MatterMojo and use your Office 365 account to sign-in. If not please read on to find out how to prepare your Office 365 account for single sign-on with MatterMojo…

What is Azure AD?

Azure AD is a cloud-based service for managing user access to applications. It is part of the Microsoft Azure cloud platform and underpins a wide range of Microsoft online products, including Office 365.

When you sign up to Office 365 you are asked to create a domain ending in ‘onmicrosoft.com’ e.g. mylawfirm.onmicrosoft.com. Behind the scenes Microsoft is creating an Azure AD for this domain to manage security and access for your instance of Office 365. Every time you sign in to Office 365 you are actually signing into Azure AD which validates your identity and passes this information to Office 365.

Azure AD can also be used to manage access to a wide range of non-Microsoft applications. This is great news for users because they only need to remember one set of credentials and it is great news for administrators because they can control access to thousands of applications from a central place.
This great capability is only available from within the Microsoft Azure portal. Fortunately registration is simple for Office 365 users and only takes a couple of minutes...

Enabling full Azure AD functionality for your Office 365 Instance

1. Log in to Office 365 as an administrator and navigate to the Admin Center (you will need to ask your Office 365 administrator to follow these steps if you are not an administrator yourself).

2. Scroll down to the bottom of the left-hand menu and click on ‘Admin \ Azure AD’



3. This launches a special Microsoft Azure sign-up page where you will need to enter a few details – no credit card is required but you do have to verify you are not a robot by entering a code sent to your mobile phone.


4. Once you have verified your identity you will be taken to the Azure subscriptions page where you will see your new subscription in a pending state.


Once your subscription is ready, click on the 'Portal’ link on the right hand-side to go to a cut-down version of the Azure portal where you can take full advantage of your Azure AD. To access the Azure portal again later the link is https://manage.windowsazure.com.

Now you have enabled Azure AD for your Office 365 account you can use it to sign-up and manage access to MatterMojo and thousands more applications. Head over to the Azure AD Market Place to see this ever growing list of cloud applications that support single sign-on using Azure AD.

That’s it for the sign-up steps! If you face any issues with the steps above or would like more information please contact us at support@mattermojo.com.
