Matter normalization rules

These regex replacements convert extracted matter values into the canonical matter number before database validation.

No normalization rules yet

Add one only when a client uses equivalent matter-number symbols, such as Dropbox folders with ':' but email matter numbers with '/'.

Dropbox sync rules

These regexes are used only when importing matter folders from Dropbox. They do not replace the email parsing rules.

Matters

A matter must exist in the database before emails can be filed automatically for this client.

Dropbox mirror source

This client now receives matter updates from the all-client Dropbox mirror sync. Its Root matters filepath is /Demo Client Files/NSIP - Northstar IP/Matters.

When the Dropbox client mirror sync runs, matters found here are activated or updated, and missing matters are archived instead of deleted.

Matter number	External number	Name	Status	Dropbox path
IP-1234-ABCD	EXT-IP-42	Sensor Patent Response	ACTIVE	/Demo Client Files/NSIP - Northstar IP/Matters/IP-1234-ABCD - EXT-IP-42
20165.566	P2123US1	Solar Charger Portfolio	ACTIVE	/Demo Client Files/NSIP - Northstar IP/Matters/20165.566 - P2123US1

Danger zone

Deleting a client permanently removes its pattern rules, folder template, and matters. Historical emails and logs remain, but linked client and matter references are cleared.
