Healdan’s own settings are under Administration → Healdan → Settings. Click Save after changing them. Clients are saved from their own window, without Save.

The Healdan settings panel: matter labels, numbering, default Class, the Recent Matters window, the next doc #, and the client list with Add client and Edit

The Class and Subclass Lists

The choices for Class and Subclass belong to the Healdan profile’s attribute set:

  1. Go to Administration → Document metadata → Templates, and open the Attribute sets tab.
  2. Select Healdan profile, then the Class or Subclass attribute, and open its Options.
  3. For each Subclass option, put the Class it belongs to in its Category. Healdan refuses a Subclass whose Category isn’t the document’s Class.
