Updates to the display order of lookup results

There’s now a more intuitive search experience within the lookup fields throughout the iManage Work. More relevant search results are now displayed at the top of the result set.

Results are now ordered based on where your input text is found in the matched result, listing those that start with that input or have it earlier in the string appear first. This way, you can find and apply the right criteria faster.

Additionally, to enhance ease of use, the first result in the result set is now auto-selected for you.

• Press ENTER to choose the result.

• Use the UP or DOWN arrow keys to browse to another result within the lookup field.

• Press TAB to navigate away from the lookup field without selecting.

New security panel

This update introduces a dedicated security panel in iManage Work that helps you perform all security-related actions quickly and also easily see permissions as you scroll through files.

The security panel can also be launched by selecting the Default security from the Properties panel or Security from the right-click context menu/kebab menu.

NOTE: If you don’t see the Security action in your right-click context menu, reach out to your administrator.

Update folder security and apply changes to its children

As an iManage Work user, you can now update the security details of a folder and also apply the changes to the folder’s children (subfolders, documents, and so on). For a folder, you can:

• Add or remove a user/group

• Edit user/group access level

• Enable/Disable Inherit security from parent

• Edit the default security

After updating the folder security, you can preview the changes and adjust Exceptions and Settings before applying those changes to the folder’s children.

After saving your changes, you can choose how to apply them to the folder children:

• Apply changes only: Preserves different security while appending new users, changing default security, and so on.

• Overwrite security: Aligns all permissions to the parent folder, removing any customized permissions.

After the new security changes are applied, the status of all Apply security to contents actions can be seen in the Notifications panel accessible through the bell icon.

Enhanced edit security workflow

This release of iManage Work introduces two enhancements to the Edit user/group permissions feature, aimed at reducing the effort required in updating the Access Control Level (ACL) for multiple items. 

1. You can now update the security of a single document or all versions of a single document using the Edit user/group permissions feature from the right-click context menu or toolbar menu.

2. When updating the security of a single or multiple documents in a single action, you can now also update the Default Security from the Edit user/group permissions dialog box. The available options are:

   • Public: All users can view the item and edit the content.

   • View: All users can view the item, but won't be able to edit the content.

   • Private: Only the author can view and edit the content, unless other users are given specific permissions.

Ability to update and save the search criteria of a search folder

This release of iManage Work introduces a revised workflow, that allows you to update and save the search criteria of a search folder and re-run the same search again.

• Bookmarking search results: You can now bookmark the search criteria for an advanced search, including any filters applied to the search results, and re-run that same search again.
