# Getting Around

> A guide to the Law Management workspace - shortcut tiles, navigation card groups, and the Legal Documents sub-workspace.

When you open Law Management, you land on the home workspace. This page explains every element you see and where each link takes you.

For platform-wide navigation (switching apps, managing your account, notifications), see the [Bizaxl platform docs](/bizaxl/introduction).

## Shortcut Tiles

Six shortcut tiles sit at the top of the workspace. Each one shows a live count and takes you directly to that list.

## Tips

* The **Matter** tile count includes all non-cancelled matters, not just open ones. Filter by Status = Open inside the list to see your active caseload only.
* The **Dashboard** shortcut opens a separate analytics view - it is not a count tile.
* If you cannot see a card group or link, your role may not have access to that record type. Contact your Administrator.
