## The problem

Dozens of matters, each with its own dates. One that goes quiet is the one that bites.

## How Plexii handles it

Stalled desk on Home spots the in-progress desk that has gone longest without a change (three days or more). The Legal matter template keeps dates in a Table with a Calendar view.

In short: Busy matters shout. Quiet ones slip. Plexii shows you the in-progress desk that has gone longest without a change, so you look before it becomes a problem.
