24.7.1

Released on July 12, 2024

New Features

Work Export

  • The layout of CSV index files are now configurable via CSV templates, which define the names, order, and sorting of the fields to include in the tabular output. Custom CSV templates can be created, modified, and deleted via the new “CSV Template Manager”, which can be accessed from the Work Explorer ribbon.

  • Work export jobs can now automatically generate a CSV index file after all items in the job have been processed. Options related to the CSV output of a Work export job can be found in the export editor’s new CSV tab.

  • CSV index files can now include columns for Default Security, Last User, and Last User Description.

  • The Export Results window and the corresponding toolbar button in the Work export job editor have been renamed “Create CSV”.

  • You can now instantly update the grid layout in “Create CSV” using the new “Template” drop-drop menu, which lists all existing custom and default CSV templates.

  • The “Hide Empty Columns” checkbox in “Create CSV” has been replaced with a “Remove Empty Columns” button that hides any visible metadata columns containing no data. You can restore hidden column by selecting a template, clicking “Reset Grid”, or dragging their name from the Column Chooser, which can be opened from the column header right-click menu.

Work Import

  • All import job types now have an option to automatically delete source files after they’ve been successfully imported.

  • You can now specify any user as the owner of folders created by an import job.

  • When importing files via Folder Import, you can now choose whether imported email messages are named after their original file name or subject.

Work

  • Imports into and exports out of cloudimanage.com can now better handle server errors related to rate limiting.

  • When connected to an on-premises or imanage.work Work server, subfolders are now retrieved recursively to avoid timeout errors related to poor search performance in large workspaces.

  • In the Document Number field in Search Documents, you can now search for a range of document numbers (e.g., “1-100”) or all documents greater or less than a specific number (e.g., “>=100” or “<=100”).

  • Labels in the Search Documents window now automatically update to match the captions of the selected target library.

  • Removing a Work connection now cancels all jobs and closes all open Work Explorer windows using that connection.

General

  • When activating the application, you can now log in to CAM without a password if your tenant has been configured to use SSO.

  • Jobs listed in the completed section of the Dashboard can now be sorted by any column.

  • Verbose log entries for API calls to cloudimanage.com now include their Request ID, which can be shared with iManage when troubleshooting server errors.

  • To minimize data loss due to an application crash or forced shutdown, all jobs now save changes to job items immediately after they’ve been processed.
