Overview
For Legal Pro and Enterprise plan users, the Invoice Summary Report lists every invoice issued during a selected date range in a single flat view, showing the invoiced amount, labor total, and hours for each. Use this report when you need a quick roster of all invoices generated over a period.
Accessing the Invoice Summary Report
- Go to the Reports tab.
- Select the Advanced tab.
- Scroll or search for "Invoice Summary." If searched, look for the result with the Advanced badge next to it.
- Click Open.
Using Filters
The Invoice Summary Report opens with these filters:
- Invoice Date: choose a preset range (e.g. Today, This Month, This Year) or a Custom Range. Defaults to This Month.
- Client
- Matter
- Users
- Account Manager
- Client Type
- Matter Type
- Currency Code: defaults to your firm's primary currency. Change it if you bill across multiple currencies and want to isolate one.
- Invoice Total
Click Filters to add more: Matter Status and Client Status.
If your firm is on the Enterprise plan, any custom fields you've configured are also available here as additional filters. Custom field availability is contextual to the report; only fields for the record types actually included in this report will appear. For example, invoice custom fields won't show up as filters on a report that doesn't include invoice data.
Once you land on a combination you'll use again, click Save Filters to to mark it as a favorite, making it accessible from the Favorites report category.
Running the Report
Set your filters and click Run Report. The grid below updates with matching invoices. If it comes back empty, check your date range first, that's the most common reason a report shows nothing.
Understanding the Report Grid
Each row represents a single invoice. The below are the key columns.
- Invoice ID / Invoice Date
- Client / Client ID
- Matter / Matter ID
- Matter Assigned To
- Invoice Total
- Labor Total
- Hours
Customizing the Report Grid
- Columns: click Columns to show or hide any of the fields above, plus other available columns beyond the defaults listed here.
- Enterprise plan firms will also see the same custom fields available here as additional columns, following the same contextual rule as the filters above.
- Reordering and resizing: drag column headers to rearrange them, or drag column borders to resize.
- Sorting: click a column header to sort by that field; click it again to reverse the order.
- Group By: the report is grouped by User by default. You can uncheck it, or group by Client, Matter, Client Type, or Matter Type instead.
- Page size: the items-per-page menu at the bottom controls how many rows show at once (100 by default, up to 1000), with page controls next to it for the rest.
Exporting the Report
Click Export and choose Export to Excel to download the current view.
