What a Migration Specialist Should Know
about
Action Step
Action Step is a:

Browser-Based Application

This means that firm members can typically access Action Step from anywhere with an internet connection. When they need to use Action Step, they enter Action Step credentials into a Action Step website and are able to access all their data from there.

Universal Migrator extracts data from Action Step via:

API Connections


Other Notes:

Document Name Humanization

In Action Step's backend, documents often have illegible file names like "1357219.pdf". Universal Migrator will automatically humanize these names to familiar ones, like "Motion for Private Process.pdf", ensuring firm members see the same human-readable names post-migration as they do when viewing documents directly through Action Step.

The following credentials are required:
