Ask iManage automatically saves your questions based on the first question asked. You can access this question for future use and ask additional questions.
If you ask an incomplete question, Ask iManage prompts you with further questions based on it. You can either select one or multiple questions and Ask iManage will provide answers based on the questions selected. Alternatively, you can also use the Something else… field to ask question of your own. Selecting Submit will make Ask iManage display answers based on the questions selected or asked.
If you select Skip, then Ask iManage resumes the search based on your initial question and displays answers both evidences available in iManage Work or ungrounded indicator.
When you want to ask a question and want Ask iManage to improve the question, select the Improve my question option that is displayed when you enter the question. Ask iManage then automatically improves the question which you have entered.
For example, if you enter, What is the asset purchase agreement? and then select Improve my question, Ask iManage improves the question to Provide a summary of the asset purchase agreement, including its key terms, parties involved, and main obligations.
You can also perform the following actions in the Ask iManage home page.
