In Fall 2020, Cheetah, the legal research platform from Wolters Kluwer, released its new Practical Content Dashboard. The Dashboard is a central point from which legal professionals can access all of Cheetah’s “practical content” – task-oriented and analytical content such as forms, checklists, and practice notes for specific areas of law. Users can filter by practice area and content type so that they can quickly see everything available to them. While this new feature does not change the content that a user can access (which is based on the user’s subscription), it provides a more streamlined point of access.
With the launch of this dashboard, Cheetah now has over 20,000 practical content tools and documents that are more readily accessible to users. These resources include 18,000 forms, 350 Smart Charts, and 85 SmartTasks, as well as Guidebooks, Answer Books, Decision Trees, calculators, and checklists.
The dashboard allows users to filter by practice area and content type so they can easily see all of the resources that are available. Cheetah’s standard search functionality is built-in, so you can search across all practical content or within a specific type. On the dashboard, the sections for each content type also include a “value statement” that is intended to help you understand more about the content and how it can help you. Links to practical content are permanent, so users can bookmark and return to them. With the launch of the new Practical Content Dashboard, Wolters Kluwer has also worked to standardize and expand the practical content available in Cheetah
