Configuring the iManage Auto Updates installation

iManage Work introduces the capability to configure the installation of iManage and related third-party applications such that the latest product updates are seamlessly installed with minimal user intervention. iManage Work Agent notifies users whenever product updates are available. Users can install the updates when notified, or check for updates manually anytime later and then install them.

This new capability makes it easier for users to keep their desktops up-to-date with the latest features, enhancements, and bug fixes offered by iManage and its partners. In addition, this capability empowers IT administrators to easily deploy latest updates to selected users' desktops, and eventually across the entire organization. IT administrators have the option to specify the following:

• Server location where updates are hosted. IT administrators have the choice to point users to the public location where latest updates are posted by iManage or to an alternate location, for example, an internal shared drive.

• Update channels that define the release stage of updates, for example, Beta or Release.

• Product(s) that should be deployed for each channel. IT administrators can use the Auto Updates feature to not only deploy iManage applications but also third-party applications that complement iManage products.
