About this task

When an employee submits a legal request, it is automatically assigned to a group or user in the legal privacy department. The assignment is done based on the assignment rules configured for the intake form of the associated practice area. If the request is assigned to a legal group, any member from the group can triage the request themselves or assign it to another member of the group. For more information, see Assignment rule to automatically assign legal requests or matters.
