Folder Options

Field Name

Description

Field Name

Description

Basic

Enter a custom name for the folder.

  • Clicking on the name of the folder of the template allows to set the name to be displayed as a column(s). (NetDocuments allows this feature)

    • 1 column

    • 2 columns

  • Refresh the page to take effect.

Folder Type

Select the Folder type to be added under the Template. Read here for more details.

Note: The folder types are filtered based on the system the template is associated to.

Show as

Specifies the behavior of the check box that precedes a folder in the Manage Folder dialog. Additionally, folders marked as Required cannot be deleted by users.

  • Checked - Checked by default, but users are allowed to uncheck it.

  • Required - Checked by default, and users are not allowed to uncheck it

  • None - Unchecked by default, and users are allowed to check it.

Consider the following scenarios:

  • While adding a new folder, if the user selects: Show as None and Prefix/Suffix None then Availability is set to All

  • While adding a new folder, if the user selects: Show as None and Prefix/Suffix (Other than None) then Availability is set to On Demand Folder Creation.

To manually change the availability of a folder already created:

  • On the Basic screen, if the user selects: Show as None and Prefix/Suffix None then Availability is set to All => The user is able to change manually to Workspace Creation Only or On Demand Folder Creation.

  • On the Basic screen, if the user selects: Show as None and Prefix/Suffix (Other than None) then Availability is set to On Demand Folder Creation => The user is able to change manually to Workspace Creation Only or All.

Notes:

  • After creating a Folder, if a user changes the availability manually and selects: Show as None and Prefix/Suffix None then Availability will not change to All => It will not change until a user manually changes it.

  • After creating a Folder, if a user changes the availability manually and selects: Show as None and Prefix/Suffix (Other than None) then Availability will not change to On Demand Folder Creation => It will not change until a user manually changes it.

Prefix/Suffix

Specifies how users can customize the name of the folder.

  • Allow Prefix - Users can add custom text to the beginning of the folder name.

  • Allow Custom Name - Users can assign a custom name to the folder.

  • Allow Suffix - Users can add custom text to the end of the folder name.

  • None - Users cannot make changes to the folder name.

Default Security

Sets the default security for the folders on a template, to Public, View or Private. For iManage, this option will display by default. This is available for NetDocuments, iManage and Office365. This option is available in CSV too.

Note: When default security of folders/subfolder which has ACL attached, is changed from 'Public, Private, or View' to Inherit in the existing Template and applied to created folders, security is changed to Private with no change to attached ACL.

Security

Assign security to the folder to locks down the folder to specific users or groups. If access to a folder is denied here to a user/group, they cannot view the folder in the workspace.

  1. Click the Security tab in the right hand side panel.

  2. Click the New Member button. In the Add Member window, select the radio button to assign security to a User or Group.

Note: Template editor provides an option to specify external user email.

  1. Based on the selection, select the User or Group from the drop-down. To assign a user/group, either click the drop-down menu and select from the list, or manually enter the value by clicking the plus sign, which will auto-complete if the user is assigned in Administration>Users and Groups

  2. Select the radio button to allow or deny permission to the user/group.

  3. Select the Role to be assigned to the user.

  4. Click Submit.

Dynamic Security

Security can be set by using comma separated variables of the metadata to pull from to set security. For example @custom7@, workspace.@custom1@, or @groupid@ can be used to pull the object to apply the security to the workspace, folder, or document.

Note: Irrespective of the Role assigned to the user here, access to the NetDocuments cabinet is granted only if the user has default access to the cabinet, where the template is applied to create a workspace.

Order

Displays the order of which to set. This order is used by default.

When reapplying a template that tabs reordering will not be carried over at this time for existing tabs/channels.

Metadata

Folders defined in a template can be assigned metadata. The values of the folder metadata can be defined using variables that are replaced with the workspace's metadata upon creation of the folder. (For e.g. for folder description, CAM uses the metadata values of ClientId and MatterId as @ClientId@@MatterId@). The metadata value at run time is replaced with the actual workspace value. Metadata added to search folders are treated as search parameters.

Note: When creating a workspace with a template having folders/sub-folders with metadata set as owner & value as @SessionUser@, the owner will be the user used to log in to CAM. If owner Metadata is not set on the folder with the placeholder @SessionUser@, the owner will be the user for which a token has been generated in CAM's external system configuration for the iManage server.

  1. The Metadata tab here displays all the metadata assigned to the folder. Click the Edit button to update the metadata.

  2. Click the New Metadata button to add new metadata to the folder. Click the drop-down menu and select from the list or manually enter the value, which will auto-complete if it is assigned in Administration>Metadata.

  3. Set a default value for the metadata filter and click Save. The drop-down displays all value(s) assigned to the metadata in Administration>Metadata>Manage.

    4. Click the above sign to add a new metadata value. In the New Metadata Value dialog, enter the Metadata ID and the Description. Click Save.

If a metadata mapping was created with “Key only” multivalues on the metadata will be disabled, and only one key can be used.

To use multivalues, select “Key and Description”.

Read about Metadata Mapping here.

Metadata Use Cases

  • The user can add the same metadata values multiple times to one field. This will take the values as an OR statement. E.g. ClientId= 'Apple' or 'Amazon' or 'Apple' would be adding values Apple and Amazon to the field Client.

  • An AND search is all the parameters used on the template. For example, it can be ClientId=”Apple”, “Amazon” and AppType=”Application”

Note: The metadata available for selection here is determined by the external system selected for the template.

iManage requires userid’s be encased in %%. Like %alexey.marcus%

Availability

Specifies the folders levels at which the folder can be created.

  • All - Available for use at all folder levels, including workspace creation

  • Workspace Creation only - Available only during workspace creation

  • On Demand Folder Creation - Available only when using the Manage Folders at the level specified in the drop-down menu.

Info: If On Demand folder creation is selected, and Show as None is selected and a Prefix and/or Suffix is selected, the folder name will not be edited!

  1. Top Level Only - Top level of a workspace.

  2. Second level and below - All levels below the top level.

  3. Any level - All levels within a workspace.

Add Metadata

Sub-folders within a folder can be assigned metadata. The values of the folder metadata can be defined using variables that are replaced with the workspace's metadata upon creation of the folder. (for e.g. for Matter metadata the value can be defined as @Matter@). The metadata value at run time is replaced with the actual workspace value. Metadata added to search folders are treated as search parameters.Variables are case insensitive so users can use @ClientId@ and @clientid@ equivalently without issue.

Note: When creating a workspace with a template having folders/sub-folders with metadata set as owner & value as @SessionUser@, the owner will be the user used to log in to CAM. If owner Metadata is not set on the folder with the placeholder @SessionUser@, the owner will be the user for which a token has been generated in CAM's external system configuration for the iManage server.

  1. Select the Add Metadata option from the drop-down.

  2. In the Add Metadata window, select the Metadata name. To assign metadata, either click the drop-down menu and select from the list or manually enter the value, which will auto-complete if it is assigned in Administration>Metadata.

  3. Set a default value for the metadata filter and click Save. The drop-down displays all value(s) assigned to the metadata in Administration>Metadata>Manage.

  4. Click the above sign to add a new metadata value.

  5. In the New Metadata Value dialog, enter the Metadata ID and the Description.

  6. Click Save.

The dialog displays the format and sample the new metadata needs to be entered.

Note: Parameters accepted format is parameter=@parameter@ Example clientid=@clientid@

Scenarios for Metadata:

  • The user can add the same metadata values multiple times. This will take the values as an OR statement. E.g. Metadata Client= 'Apple' or 'Amazon' or 'Apple'

  • The user can add different metadata values. The statement would be considered an AND statement. E.g. Metadata Department='Litigation' and 'Corporate'

Note: The metadata available for selection here is determined by the external system selected for the template.

When you configure multiple servers for iManage and multiple regions for NetDocuments, the following optional fields appear when you add metadata: Repository and database.

Metadata Scenarios with Multiple Servers and Regions:

  • If you do not specify a repository or a database, the values will be retrieved from the default repo and database.

  • If you choose a repository but do not choose a database, the values will be retrieved from the repository's default database.

  • If you select both the repository and the database, the values will be retrieved from the latter.

Note: The Metadata Scenarios with Multiple Servers and Regions are applicable only for iManage, NetDocuments, and M365.

Delete

Create New Template

Creating a new template can be done in 4 ways in CAM:

  1. Generate Template on the global actions menu to create a new template from a workspace

  2. Import templates in Template editor (from Milan or other CAM systems)

  3. Generate template from the Directory tab to create a new template from the workspace

  4. Manually creating a template in Template Editor

The following instructions are for manually designing a template from within Template Editor.

  1. Click the button for Create Template displayed in the Template List pane.

  2. In the Create New Template window enter a name for the template under Template Title.

  4. Once the template is created, the system will set the templateid as the template title which is by design.

Note: During the creation of workspace through CSV, specify TemplateID for selecting a specific template.

Keep the number of templates in check. When there are too many templates to work with, the Templete Editor may take longer to load resources or transition from screen to screen. As a general rule, it is recommended that users keep their templates in check to make sure each one has a purpose and that unused ones are deleted.
