Focus Matters is used to determine a list of matters associated with the current user. In addition to record ownership, focus matters can also be determined by the user's relationship to the matter, via participants.

Focus Matters was formerly named My Matters. The new name was chosen for improved functional clarity in the Spring 2017 release of AdvoLogix.
How can focus matters be customized?
Focus matters can be displayed within a custom Home Page Component or in a full list using our dedicated Focus Matters tab or applied as a live filter for applicable matters within multiple components, such as, Matter Calendar, Matter Gantt, Billing Preview etc.
The matters in these lists (focus matters) can be determined in one of three ways specified in this option.
- Record Owner: only those matters for which the logged in user is the Record Owner.
- Record Participant: only those matters for which the logged in user is a Matter Participant.
- Either: includes matters for which the logged in user is the Record Owner OR a Matter Participant.
