# Record decisions, sessions and hearings

Keep the execution court's decisions and the minutes of its sessions in the file, and schedule a hearing for it, each from the Actions of the file.

Along a file, the execution judge issues decisions and holds sessions, and the firm may need a hearing in court. The file keeps all three.

## Before you start {#before-you-start}

- You need the **User: Own Documents** level or higher on **Executions**.
- The file is **In Progress**: the three actions appear only then.

## Record a decision {#record-a-decision}

1. Open the file and click **Actions** › **Add Decision**.
2. Type the **Number** and the **Subject** of the decision; its date is today unless you change it. Write the decision in **Description** and attach the document in **Attachments**.

3. Click **Save manually**, then the file's name in the breadcrumb to go back to it.

## Record a session {#record-a-session}

**Actions** › **Add Session** opens the same kind of form: a **Session Number**, a **Subject**, the date, the minutes in **Description** and the attachments. Save it and go back to the file.

![The file counts its decisions and sessions; each button opens them.](https://jaah.app/web/image/8045-bf76b29c/law-execution-decisions-and-sessions-execution_counters-en.png)

The **Decisions** and **Sessions** buttons at the top of the file count them and open them.

## Schedule a hearing {#schedule-a-hearing}

**Actions** › **Add Hearing** opens a new hearing of the cases module, filled with the file, its case and its lawyers. Its **Hearings** button then appears on the file.

## FAQ {#faq}

### Does the client hear about a new decision? {#client-email}

When **Decision Emails** is on in the execution settings and a template is chosen for it, the clients of the file who have an e-mail address receive one for each new decision.
