Context Menus

This feature enables you to organize and group the context menus that appear for the items in iManage Work. These context menus are available as menus on the following objects:

  • Documents

  • Emails

  • Matters

  • Folders

The default list of custom menus displayed for each object type is fixed. You can reorder the menus, remove, or and add only the ones that are removed from the list.

Steps to customize the context menus

  1. Click Web > Context Menus; the page Customize Context Menus appears.

Important Points to Remember

  • The context menu names and icons cannot be changed.

  • The customized context menus are available across all the databases.

  • Share externally context menu is available only if you have iManage Share integration.

    NOTE:

    With iManage Share you can exchange the work products securely with your clients, partner firms, and outside consultants within tools that you are familiar with. For more information, you can visit www.imanage.com or contact iManage support team.

  • Grouping is supported only for Share externally and More Actions menus.

  • Hover the mouse over the group context menus, and click images/download/thumbnails/29464390/icon-edit.png to add items.

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

  • If you remove any of the custom menus, they do not appear in iManage Work. However, they appear in iCC to allow you to add them again to the list.
    For example, in the following image the Move menu is removed from the document context menu list in iCC, and so it does not appear in the iManage Work UI. However, it appears in iCC for it to be added again when needed.

  • The third-party menu options appear when you click +Add . To enable third-party menus, refer to the third-party documentation.

  • If you want to replace the native functionality with third-party integration, then 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, you should remove the native New Folder context menu and add the third-party new folder menu by clicking +Add .
