3.  Tap the actions icon \(\[Omitted image "action-icon.png"\] Alt text: Actions icon.\) and select the **Create Phase** option.

4.  In the **Enter Phase Name** field, enter a unique name for the phase.

5.  In the **Enter Phase Order** field, enter the order in which the phase should be worked on.

6.  Tap the submit icon \(\[Omitted image "submit-icon.png"\] Alt text: Submit icon.\).

[Add tasks in the phase](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/legal-mobile/add-tasks-to-matter-mobile.md) to manage activities in the legal matter. If the task has to be done by a different user, you can assign these tasks to that person.
