Figure: Global settings
The following is a description and notes for each of the settings.
Table: Global settings values
Name |
Value |
Default value |
Description |
Flexible Folders |
Enabled/Disabled |
Enabled |
Enables or disables the Flexible Folders feature, which uses predefined templates to pre-populate and enforce the container structure when a workspace is created. It also restricts creating, deleting, and renaming containers afterwards. These templates allow the organization to better structure and to control workspaces according to their best practices. If enabled, flexible folders are enforced. This applies to all libraries. If disabled, flexible folders are not enforced. No libraries will use flexible folders. See Templates for more information. |
Match fields for filtering templates |
None, one, or two Metadata fields |
Not selected |
When Flexible Folders is enabled, specify the fields used to suggest templates to users when they create new template-based folders or tabs in iManage Work. Templates with field values that match those of the parent workspace where the folder or tab is created will be suggested at the top of the template selection menu . The following example shows the New Folder dialog, where the Practice Area field has been set as a Match field. The user is creating a New Folder within a workspace which has it's Practice Area set to Labor. Two templates have been displayed under Suggested Templates, as these templates match this same Practice Area (Labor).
If no matching templates are found, no Suggested Templates will be displayed to the user. In this case, all templates are displayed in alphabetic order. |
Allow to Create Metadata |
None, one, or more metadata fields |
Not selected |
Enables users to manually create custom metadata values when creating a workspace using iManage Work client applications. In the following example, the Custom1 field has been enabled, allowing the user to create a value for the Custom1 field while creating a workspace. Select only those custom metadata fields that you want users to be able to create values for. |
Auto-generate custom Alias |
True/False |
False |
This option is only available if Allow to Create Metadata is enabled. Automates the generation of the custom metadata Alias property during workspace creation for the customers who use only the Name or Description property. The Alias is internally auto-generated and cannot be controlled using special mnemonics or numbering. This Alias property is hidden and only the Name appears in the user interface. |
User Trash |
Enabled/Disabled |
Enabled |
Enables the User Trash feature for users in iManage Work clients. This allows users to restore their deleted documents and emails.
NOTE: For on-premises deployments, you must also enable the "Enable Trash" Work Server registry setting to enable Trash functionality. See the iManage Work Server Administration Guide for more details. See Trash for more information about managing deleted documents and emails in iManage Control Center. |
HIPAA Option |
Shown, Hidden |
Shown |
Shows or hides the HIPAA compliant option in iManage Work clients when users are manually adding new metadata values during workspace creation, as shown: NOTE: The ability for users to add new metadata values is controlled using the Allow to Create Metadata option, as described above. The HIPAA compliant option is used to determine whether files assigned this custom metadata value use encrypted file storage to be compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). |
Default Email Folder |
String |
"E-mails" |
Name of the default email filing folder for workspaces. While filing an email, users can select the workspace. The default email folder is picked up automatically as the filing location for all filed emails. The folder name in the workspace must match the default email folder name configured here. |
Access rights required for creating folders under workspaces |
Read/Write |
Read/Write |
Manages what access rights to a workspace are required for users to be able to create containers, such as folders, search folders, Share folders, and tabs, at the top (root) level of any workspace.
This setting replaces the legacy "Allow folder creation in public workspaces" setting. When the legacy setting was enabled, users with read/write access to public workspaces could create containers at the top (root) level of those workspaces.
See Folder administration tips for more information about this setting. |
Allow to edit document versions |
Yes, all versions Yes, most recent version only No |
Yes, all versions |
Specifies which versions of a document users are allowed to edit, within their other security limitations. Modifications include editing document content, changing default security and user's access permission for the document, and changing properties. This setting applies to all documents across all libraries.
NRTADMINs always have Yes, all versions access regardless of the actual value. |
