To effectively use the information available within iManage Work, you can choose either the List view or Grid view. The List view presents information in rows and the Grid view presents information in rows and columns. Use the view type selector available in the toolbar to switch between the two.

Both views support progressive scrolling without pagination. Progressive scrolling applies to all containers (Folders, My Favorites, Recent Filed Emails, and so on) that contain many items as well as to searches that return many results. When a container or list of search results includes more than 500 items, select Load more items in the toolbar to load an additional 500 items. You can view up to 5000 total items in a container or list of search results.

iManage Work supports maintaining your sort criteria in the List or Grid view. When you switch from one view to the other, the sort criteria and the order in which the sort was done persist. Active Grid view sorting is shown on the Sort by button when switching to the list view. List view sorting is indicated in the Grid view by an arrow over the correct column if it's available.

When the column used in the Grid view isn't an available option in the List view, then the primary sort column name from the Grid view is shown as the selected sort criteria in the List view, but this sort criteria isn't available if you sort the List view for different metadata. If the sort criteria selected in the List view isn't an available option in the Grid view, then no sort column in shown in the grid, but the sort order from the list view is maintained.



Configuring the Grid view

1. Sorting: You can sort any column based on your preferences.

   • Select once to sort the grid.

   • Select again to reverse the sort order. 

   • Select once again to remove the sort.

     Any changes you make to the sort order persist for the said view type—for example, Recent Documents, Recent Matters, and so on. The sorting behavior and preference differs based on the various lists as explained in the table below.

Table: Sorting behavior

Independent suggests that the sort option is applicable only to selected lists. For example, if you select Recent Documents by Created date, and then browse to the Checked Out documents, the checked out documents can have a different sort applied, such as Author. When you toggle back to Recent Documents, the list is sorted by Created Date. 

NOTE: Search results are always returned according to importance, but can then be sorted using the available columns. After a search result is sorted on a column, that sort criteria is remembered and automatically applied to all ‌future searches of the same type.

2. Adjusting row height: Select View Settings and then choose one of the following options to set the grid row height based on the available screen space:

   • Compact

   • Comfortable

   • Tiny
     

     

   The Compact option is selected by default.

3. Alternating row colors: Select View Settings and then select the Apply different background shades to alternate rows option to apply alternate colors to the rows in the grid. The available colors are white and light gray.

4. Grid columns: The columns in Grid view can be configured for all views in iManage Work.

The following columns in the Grid View display the date and time in the format of the browser locale specified: 

• Created Date

• Edit Date

• Activity Date

• Date Received

• Date Sent

You can add new columns to the grid view from the Available Columns list in the Table Settings dialog and reorder the columns as well.
