Optionally, select METADATA > Captions, and update the captions for CUSTOM1VIEW, and RECENTCUSTOM1 to reflect appropriate labels in iManage Work for the additional tab, and recent items. For example, if Practice Areas is added as an additional tab, then update the captions to reflect labels in iManage Work as Practice Areas, and Recent Practice Areas.

Allow users to perform bulk security updates

New Folder in iManage File/Location Selection dialog

Allows you to show or hide the option to create a New Folder or choose a custom command to create a New Folder in the iManage File/Location Selection dialog. The default command for creating New Folder is iManage "New Folder" command.

Enable static asset delivery via Microsoft Azure’s Content Delivery Network

Enabling this feature allows a faster and more responsive user experience in iManage Work Web by automatically loading the static content from the user's nearest Microsoft Azure content delivery network (CDN) point-of-presence (POP) location. Static assets are files required to run the application such as icons, images, HTML, JavaScript and CSS. 

Customer content stored within iManage Work is never placed on any CDN and will only ever be hosted from the data center to which it was uploaded.

This setting is disabled by default.

TIP: To test this setting before enabling it for all users, include the toggle_cdn=true query parameter in any Work Web URL, for example:

https://cloudimanage.com/work/web/r/recent-documents?exclude_emails=true&activity=edit&scope=ACTIVE,SECONDARY&p=1&toggle_cdn=true

Enable Work 10 Desktop for Windows Auto Updates App Banner

Select the Windows check box if you want your end-users to see the Enable Work 10 Desktop for Windows Auto Updates App Banner in the iManage Work application (Work Web client). 

By default, this check box isn't selected. 

Only those users who don't have iManage Work Desktop for Windows will see the banner.

Enable Search Language Selection

Configures whether the language search selection option is visible for simple and advanced searches in iManage Work. 

  • Yes (default): Displays the language selection option.

  • No: Hides the language selection option.

Enable web-based email sending

Disables the ability for users to send documents and links directly through the web client's email service for users who do not have iManage Work Desktop for Windows or iManage Work Desktop for Mac clients installed on their computer.

This helps administrators safeguard their users from using a non-secure SMTP protocol to share documents and links externally.

  • When enabled (Yes), users can see the Share menu option, and use the Send Link, Send Document, or Send Both options to send documents and links directly through the web client's email service. This is the default option.

  • When disabled (No), users will only see the these Share menu options if they have an iManage desktop client installed on the computer (iManage Work Desktop for Windows, iManage Work Desktop for Mac). In this scenario, documents and/or links shared from iManage Work 10 are sent through the integrated software, such as Microsoft Outlook.

Main Content Security Policy Header

Enhances security by applying Content Security Policy (CSP) to the entire Work Web application, protecting it against common scripting attacks, and preventing the application from being framed by malicious sites.

This setting is supported by the following fields:

  • Default (default): Specifies that the default CSP header is used. When Default is selected, the default CSP header is populated automatically in the corresponding form field and can’t be modified.

  • Custom: Specifies that a custom CSP header is used. When Custom is selected, the corresponding form field is available for edit and a custom header must be provided.

  • Report Only: When this option is selected, CSP header rules are evaluated but not enforced. This lets you test CSP header settings without the risk of disrupting existing functionality. This option is selected by default.

CSP Header Fields.png

NOTE: For more information about configuring CSP headers, refer to Content Security Policy implementations in iManage Work Web.

Dialog Content Security Policy Header

Offers enhanced security that’s similar to the Main Content Security Policy Header but doesn’t restrict framing, as dialogs are frequently used by add-ons and extensions.

This setting is supported by the following fields:

  • Default (default): Specifies that the default CSP header is used. When Default is selected, the default CSP header is populated automatically in the corresponding form field and can’t be modified.

  • Custom: Specifies that a custom CSP header is used. When Custom is selected, the corresponding form field is available for edit and a custom header must be provided.

  • Report Only: When this option is selected, CSP header rules are evaluated but not enforced. This lets you test CSP header settings without the risk of disrupting existing functionality. This option is selected by default.

CSP Header Fields.png

NOTE: For more information about configuring CSP headers, refer to Content Security Policy implementations in iManage Work Web.

Enable open in Gmail

Enables the option to open Gmail emails, filed using the iManage Gmail extension, in the native Gmail application.

When enabled (Yes), Gmail emails filed using the iManage Gmail extension are opened in the native Gmail application from the Open context menu in iManage Work. By default, this option is set to No (disabled).

Enable iHelp

  • Unlimited access to e-learning opportunities for users and administrators

  • Entitlements to technical and administrator certifications

  • Access to quick reference cards and job aids

This setting lets useiManage Premium subscribers integrate their useiManage subscription with iHelp, allowing users to engage directly with useiManage.

useiManage - iHelp Integration - 4.png

This option can be set to:

  • Disabled (default): Use the standard iHelp URL.

  • Enabled: Integrate your useiManage subscription with iHelp.

NOTES:

  • The useiManage/iHelp integration setting will display only if Enable iHelp is set to Yes.

  • When useiManage/iHelp integration is Enabled, you must enter your custom useiManage subdomain. If you’re unsure of your useiManage subdomain, contact iManage Support.

Save dialog security alert

Specifies if iManage Work users will receive a warning when saving a file to a folder, if the folder’s security differs from the file’s security settings.

  • Yes (default): Warn users if a file's security doesn't match the folder's security setting when saving a file to the folder.

  • No: Don’t warn users if a file's security doesn't match the folder's security setting when saving a file to the folder.

This section describes how to customize or change the logo displayed in iManage Work. The logo appears in iManage Work at the following places:

  • Page headers (desktop view)

    Page headers.png
  • Left sidebar (mobile view)

    Left sidebar.png

Custom logo file requirements

  • The image must be in SVG format. You can't upload an image in any other format such as JPG, PNG, GIF and so on.

  • The image size should be 174px x 60px. If the size of your image doesn't match, it'll be scaled to 174px x 60 px automatically. However, the logo may appear distorted.

  • The SVG files exported from tools such as Adobe Illustrator or Sketch work properly without any additional effort. However, if the logo doesn't appear in the UI, open the image file in a text editor to view its XML format. Verify that the <svg> element has both xmlns and xmlns:xlink attributes set. If these attributes are missing, the logo may not render. 
    For example, <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" … > …. </svg> 

To change the logo:

  1. In iManage Control Center, browse to Work Clients > Web Client.

  2. On the General tab, locate the Customize Logo option and select Change.
