FAQ
Q: What is a validation period?
A: When an upcoming feature is pushed to your iManage environment, it'll be displayed on the Upcoming Features page for a period of time for evaluation purposes. At any time during this period, you can enable the feature for use by all users. If you take no action, the upcoming feature is automatically made available to all users at the specified Validation Period Ends date.
During the validation period, you can enable and disable the upcoming feature at any time, and as often as you like. When you enable an upcoming feature, it's made available to all iManage users.
Q: How can I learn more about an upcoming feature?
A: Select any feature name to access the Feature details page. This page includes a short description of the upcoming feature. Additional documentation for the feature, if available, is accessible by selecting Learn more.
Q: Why don't I see any upcoming features?
A: The list of features displayed may be blank if no upcoming features have been pushed to your environment.
Q: Where did my features go?
A: Once a feature reaches its Validation Period Ends date, the feature automatically becomes available for all users and is removed from the list on the Upcoming Features page.
Q: How are dates determined?
A: When a feature is pushed to your environment, you're given a predefined period of time (typically 3 months) to evaluate the upcoming feature. At the end of the validation period, the feature becomes available to all users.
Q: Can I enable this feature only for specific users?
A: The capability to enable an upcoming feature for specific users is planned for a future update. In the interim, you can manually enable upcoming features during a select evaluation time window, and then manually disable the feature again once the evaluation is complete.
