The Offices tool allows law firms to define and manage their physical office locations within Neostella.
This tool provides a structured way to represent where the firm operates, taking into account attributes such as office name, contact email, time zone, and current office status. Offices are used to support organizational clarity, regional configuration, and consistent behavior across users, communications, and workflows that depend on physical location or a time-based context.
The Offices tool is designed to support two primary admin activities:
- Creation and edition of new office entities.
- Maintenance of office information and status.

+ new office button
The + NEW OFFICE button is the entry point for creating new office entities.
Selecting this option opens the New Office editor, where admins define the foundational information for a new office. This ensures that office records are created intentionally and consistently, with all required attributes captured at creation time.
office editor
The Office editor is where office records are created and maintained. Within this editor, admins can define key office details, including:
- Name
- Time Zone
- Office Type
- Phone Numbers
- Address
For existing offices, the same editor can be opened to update or refine office information. This allows admins to keep accurate office records as locations, contact details, or operational status change over time.
toolbar
The toolbar supports common management tasks such as searching, filtering, or performing bulk-related actions, depending on the current view and selected records. The toolbar helps admins efficiently navigate and manage office data at scale.
offices table
The offices table presents a consolidated, record-based view of all offices configured in the system.
Each row represents a single office and displays its key attributes, allowing admins to quickly review office details, identify active or inactive locations, and access the office editor when updates are required. The table includes the following columns:
| Column | Type | Description | Example |
| Office Name | Informational / Editable | Displays the office’s name and serves as a direct link to the Office editor. | Miami – Main Office |
| Informational | Displays the primary email address or the email addresses associated with the office. | chicago@neostella.com | |
| Time Zone | Informational | Indicates the time zone in which the office operates. Used for time-based behavior and processes. | US/Eastern |
| Tags | Informational | Displays the tags assigned to the office, used for categorization and filtering. | East Coast, Corporate |
| Active | Informational | Indicates whether the office is active or inactive within the system. | Yes |

Offices act as organizational reference entities within the account:
- They provide geographic and operational context.
- They support time zone–aware behavior.
- They enable structured grouping through tags.
