NOTE:

To perform operations on the Web Client page, the user must be a member of the NRTADMIN group, or be assigned to a role with Tier 2 access to Control Center. For more information about the specific operations allowed, see Understanding tiers.

This page enables you to customize the context menus that appear for the following objects in iManage Work client applications.

  • Documents and Document Versions

  • Emails

  • Matters

  • Folders

You can customize menus by adding, reordering, removing, and grouping menu actions using existing sub-menus or by creating new ones.

Points to remember

  • Menu names and icons cannot be customized.

  • Changes to context menus apply across all iManage Work libraries.

  • In Work 10.3 and later, the Delete Shortcut menu item is no longer available. The Delete menu item is now context sensitive and appears in the context menu for documents, emails and folders, whereas the Delete Shortcut option appears for document, email and folder shortcuts when the Delete option is included in the respective context menus.

  • The menu Open Web Link for iManage Work panel is not configurable and does not appear in the context menus list.

  • Third-party menu options appear when you select Add action . To enable third-party menus, refer to the third-party documentation.

  • To replace the native functionality with third-party integration, you must delete the native context menu and add the third-party context menu.
    For example, if you are using a third-party tool to add new folders, remove the native New Folder context menu and add the third-party new folder menu by selecting Add action .
