Manage Folders
The Manage Folders option in the external system allows you to add optional folders to the selected folder/sub-folder in the matter template, based on the On-demand Folders Creation defined in the applicable folder templates.
Prerequisite: The CAM Teams app must be installed successfully before opening CAM Web Commands inside a tab within a channel.
Tip: The folders in this list are sorted alphabetically so it’s easier to find the one you’re looking for.
In the Directory tab, click the matter to open the Matter Details page.
Click the button in the far-right corner of the external system.
Select Manage.
To assign a template, either click the drop-down menu and select it from the list or manually enter the value, which will auto-complete if it is assigned in Administration>Template Editor.

A new job is triggered to update the workspace. You can track the status of the job in the Jobs tab.
Note: A Checkbox is displayed in front of On-demand and Custom folders to differentiate from existing folders in the workspace, and shows existing folders with blue text to rename it.
Note: The replacement of placeholders for the template metadata only happens at the workspace level and not at the folder level to avoid inaccurate results when a user opens Manage Folder from the folder level.
Template results are limited to the first top 50 templates based on the filter criteria in Template Editor of Commands that pull templates. Narrow down your search or limit the template number you are returning.
Tip: Users must have View Manage Folder Dialog permission assigned to edit the workspace template folders. Read here for a complete list of available permissions and instructions to allow/deny CAM permissions to user/group.
Use Cases
A workspace is linked to CAM using the Link workspace job.
It shows up properly in the Directory tab and stores folder structure as expected when clicking on Manage Folder.
Create a new second-level folder using the native iManage option in Work Web – please note that in this scenario, does not have CAM right-click menu enabled nor configured.
When going back to the CAM directory tab, the newly created folder showed up in the Manage Folder dialog without the workspace being relinked.
Then use the native iManage delete option to delete the created folder. The CAM directory synced without relinking, showing the updated structure without the folder again.
The workspace structure was stored in iManage, and received by CAM.

Creating a job using Copy Job
Similar to creating a new job from the Content Mover panel, users can add jobs from the object in Matters.
Go to the Matters tab in CAM.
Find an M365 Teams, Channel, or Tab.
Click the Action menu from the object and select Copy.
Select the object (Matter/client/workspace) to copy or move the team's content to in the DMS.
Note: Currently, only objects that match the client/matter shows up. In a future version, all objects will display in the lookup.
Prerequisites: Before synching Team to a Workspace the following settings need to be done:
Workspace should be present for the same matter where the team is linked
In Content Mover under default setting tab select setting "How to handle Team"
From here, users can change the options below:
Users can specify the custom name of the folder/Tab in the field “Name of the folder or tab in the DMS“ when synching Team to the workspace.
Once Job created successfully, the Target Workspace Team should be created as Tab/Folder under the workspace with a specified custom name
Channels should be added under the Team as folders, where the conversation folder will be created.
A tooltip will display as: Content from Teams will be mapped according to the Default Configuration assigned.
A warning will display if a user copies an item that has security other than Public to a team/channel/workspace: Note: Any document copied to Teams will be visible to all channel members
Default Class - Users can specify a Default class to apply to the moved teams/channels/tabs. It displays a Class metadata description or Class id if the description is not entered.
Sync Options - Set up a new job internal in New Interval using the following options:
One Time - Allows you to copy the contents only one time from a specified source to a destination.
Schedule - Allows you to set the period in sync interval, select the time measure (minutes, hours, or days), and set the starting period date (today, in the future). Sync interval appears only when you select the option Schedule.
Event Based - This allows you to sync the content only when any new content populates.
Two-way sync - This allows you to copy the content in two ways, from source to destination and vice versa. When you sync the document and the same document exists in DMS, it will create a new version of the document by appending 1 to the end. There are two use cases when the two-way sync is disabled:
Bring as shortcut is selected in the options.
There already exists a two-way sync job for the selected workspace.
Note: The Two-way sync option is available for Bring as Documents, it is not available for Bring as shortcut.
