Overview

The Admin Panel gives court administrators full control over e-filing configuration for their court. From here you manage courts, users, filing types, fees, review queues, routing rules, announcements, and reporting.

You must have the Court Admin or Clerk role to access the Admin Panel. If you don't see the Admin link in your sidebar, contact your system administrator.

Navigation

The Admin Panel uses a sidebar on the left with links to each section. The top navigation bar shows your current section and provides access to notifications and your user profile.

Each section follows a consistent pattern:

• A searchable table lists all records

• An Add button opens a form dialog to create a new record

• Edit and Delete icons appear on each row

• Toggle switches control on/off settings (e.g., e-filing enabled, user active)
