iManage SPM Policy

Allows users to set the iManage SPM policy through CSV.

A Dot character (.) in your execution, is treated as a separator. Don’t use it unless you intend on separating entries.

A pipe | symbol is used to separate two values in a column. It cannot be used as a separator like for example, separating client and matter by doing client|matter is not supported.

ClientId and MatterId were limited to 20 characters in the SPM API. Your job will fail with Max Limit Increased Error.

Set Policy type.

The accepted values are -

There are 4 Policy type

  1. Inclusion : Include the users to allow access

  2. Exclusion : Prevent the users access

  3. Inclusionmultiside : Same as Inclusion policy however allows adding multiple client-matters and specific users in a distinct policy for easy maintenance.

  4. exclusionmultisided : Same as Exclusion policy however exclude user/groups from sides based on sideclientmatter and sideclientuser metadata.

  5. Competitive : Cross customer access to restrict access to competitors matters; E.g. Side1Users : List of users and Side1ClientMatters : List of Client-Matter Side2Users : List of users and Side2ClientMatters : List of Client-Matter Side1Users are not allowed to access Side2ClientMatters list, and Side2Users are not allowed to access Side1ClientMatters list.

  6. Collection: For creating an SPM collection policy. Collections work on the basis of rules, which can be defined to support certain metadata.

    For example, a collection can be made for all matters where the practice area = Bankruptcy, and all matters which have that practice will be secured to a group. Any time a new matter that is created in SPM has the practice area of Bankruptcy, then it would automatically be added to the collection.

Creating Ethical Walls Policy in CAM

String

Set default = CAM

matterproperties

This allows to attach the matter properties to be included for knowledge management or for maintaining in SPM an automatic collection for updates based on these properties. E.g. if a time and billing system uses a Practice field and this is also added within SPM, CAM can pull this field and add that field on a matter, e.g. one that is a Litigation matter.

String. Practice: Litigation

Separate using #.

clientproperties

This allows to attach the client properties to be included for knowledge management or for maintaining in SPM an automatic collection for updates based on these properties. E.g. if a time and billing system uses a Practice field and this is also added within SPM, CAM can pull this field and add that field on a client, e.g. one that is a Advisory matter.

String. Practice: Advisory

Separate using #.

Adding a Rule for SPM Custom Properties

To add a rule on a custom property listed above (matterproperties or clientproperties), follow the below to setup the column in the CSV:

  1. The format is: 1:DeptCode#Litigation|2:DeptCode#LPM

    1: Rule number for each rule

    DeptCode : Custom Field for example department

    Litigation or LPM : Value of the custom field to set the rule on

  2. AND conditions would be like this, if you want one rule for both Litigation and LPM:

1:DeptCode#Litigation|1:DeptCode#LPM

  1. OR conditions would look like the example in #1.
