Quick Add (+)
Use HAQQ's Quick Add button to instantly create matters, tasks, contacts, events, and more from anywhere in the platform.
What It Does
The Quick Add button is the fastest way to create new records in HAQQ without leaving the page you are on. It lives in the top navigation bar — the "+" icon — and is always accessible from anywhere in eFirm.
- Quick add works from anywhere in eFirm. The page underneath does not change and nothing you were doing is lost.
- Seven record types, the ones a firm creates most often: matter, task, contact, event, time entry, hearing, and invoice.
- Time entries are the reason this menu exists. If logging one takes longer than a few seconds people skip it, and the hour is never billed.
- The form adapts to the record type, and what you save is filed into the right module and linked from there.
- The timer sits beside it, for work you are starting rather than work you have already finished.
How It Works
Click the "+" button in the top navigation bar. Select the record type you want to create. Fill in the required fields — the form adapts to the record type. Save — the record is created and linked to the appropriate section.
The Start Timer Shortcut
Next to the Quick Add button, the Start Timer button gives you instant access to time tracking with Timer mode (live clock), Manual mode (enter hours directly), and Range mode (set start and end time).
Why It Matters
In a law firm, speed of data capture matters. If logging a time entry or creating a task takes more than a few seconds, people skip it. Quick Add removes the friction. You stay on the page you are working on, capture what you need, and move on.
Summary
Create any record — contact, matter, task, hearing, invoice — in seconds, from anywhere in eFirm.
