A court form can only fill itself if the system knows which matter detail belongs in which box. That link is a fill map, and you can draft one with or without an AI key.
What a fill map is
Each court form has named fields on the page. A fill map connects those fields to your matter data, so the form can be generated already filled in. Most forms ship with a map; the rest wait in Settings, Form fill maps until you draft one. Nothing is used until you approve it.
Two ways to draft
- Draft without AI. A built-in matcher compares each field's label to your data and maps the obvious ones for free: party names, addresses, dates of birth, the court file number, and the registry. It is deliberately cautious, so it maps only what it is confident about and leaves the rest for you.
- Draft with AI. With your AI key set, a model reads the whole form and proposes a fuller mapping, catching the oddly labelled fields the plain matcher leaves alone.
You approve every draft
Both paths produce a draft that lands in the review list. You check it, fix or add anything, and approve it. A wrong guess never reaches a filed document, because a map only takes effect once you approve it.
No AI key yet? Run Draft without AI now to clear the easy majority of forms, then come back and run the AI pass later to mop up the rest. Either way you approve each draft, so it is safe to start today.
The no-key matcher never crosses parties (an applicant field will not bind to a respondent value) and never confuses first, last, and full name. When in doubt, it leaves the field unmapped rather than mapping it wrong.
