Workspace

Overview

The Workspace tab allows you to perform search operations in the following two ways:

  • API search

  • Database search

To Access the API and Database Search, the user can set the corresponding permissions through the Account Management option. To know more about setting permissions, click here.

Getting Started

Before any workspace or folder searching can be done, there are a few configurations that need to be made, namely:

  • Metadata should be mapped to the layouts/forms.

  • Layouts and forms must be configured.

    • If working with DeskSite/FileSite or Cloud iManage/Private Cloud/Work 10, CAM commands must be set up.

  • The search layout(s) must be set up.

Mapping Metadata

  • Metadata should first be created.

  • Once metadata has been created, it should be mapped.

Layouts and Forms

Layouts are a key component of the Documents and Workspace tabs, as they determine what fields will be available to a user when navigating CAM’s tabs. The look and behavior of a layout will depend on the Form. When a tenant is first created, the following forms will be automatically loaded:

Warning: Keep in mind that the default layouts/forms for a newly created tenant will not have metadata mapped to them nor users assigned. For a layout to work properly, metadata must be mapped to it and users must be assigned to it.

Learn more about customizing layouts, adding forms, and assigning users to them. Learn more about mapping metadata.

CAM Commands

CAM Commands allow the use of specific functionality of CAM from within DeskSite/FileSite or Cloud iManage/Private Cloud/Work 10.

On Premise Steps to Install

  • Download the CAM Commands installer using the EXE or MSI of Edge Compatible installer.

  • Run the installer on premise. (You may have to trust the app and run anyway with the Windows Smartscreen popup.)

  • Check which commands to enable from the installer.

  • Once installed, you can open DeskSite or Filesite, and use the right click menu to access the CAM commands.

  • Registry edits to rename items can be done from the Interwoven registry folder.

 

Work in the Cloud/Cloud iManage/Private Cloud Steps to Install

  • Now you can use the commands in the Web Client.

Learn how to configure CAM Commands in more detail.

Configuring the Search Layout

Configure the content of the search bar (displayed in the top center of the page).

  1. Go to the administration tab.

  2. Click on Layouts.

  3. Click the Edit button in the Actions column against the Search drop-down.

  4. In the Search Configuration window, add information in the provided fields.

  5. Click Save.

  6. Click Add.

Read the detailed steps to configure the search layout.

Searching Workspaces/Folders

Best Practices

  • Note Service Desk Documents and Workspace searches return a maximum of 5,000 per search. If deciding to do a bulk search/update, you may need to batch out your update to process more than 5,000 records. (This does not apply for CloudiManage).

  • Lookups in the searches will return a limit of 100 items in the lookup dropdown. If you happen to have more records meeting the criteria in the lookup (e.g. a matter), it is recommended to search directly for that result.

  • If you plan to process a very large number of records, you may want to utilize a CSV using Data Uploader instead.

API Search

API searches are available for clients under the Manage tier and onwards. API searches mean that through an API, CAM goes directly to the DMS to do the searches. These are lookups that call the DMS in real time and pull that information as if the user were in the DMS searching.

 The following are the steps to perform the API search operations:

  1. Go to the Workspace tab. The following screen displays:

 

Fields

Description

Fields

Description

System

Select system from the list.

Repository

Select repository name from the list.

Database

Select database name from the list.

Client

Select the client name from the list.

Matter

Select the matter name from the list.

Owner

Enter the owner name for the file(s).

Workspace ID

Enter the workspace id.

Folder name

Enter the folder name

Hide Repository/Server

If enabled, it allows hiding the repository or server selected in the search from all the search results.

Folder/Workspace toggle

If using the API search, the toggle on the upper left between Workspace and Folder allows to search for one or the other to select a workspace and search for a folder within that workspace based on a partial name search or by folder ID if known.

2. Click Search to get the result in a list or click Clear Fields to reset all the fields.

3. Click Switch to Database Search to perform the database search operation.

Workspace Search results then display the list of the record details.

Enabling the iManage Search Anywhere functionality

The Service Desk API Search now supports the iManage Search Anywhere option. This is available in the Workspaces tab and Documents tab using only the API Search.

To enable:

  1. In the Administration-> Metadata, add the metadata Name: Anywhere ID: Anywhere

  2. Map to iManage and CAM.

  3. In Layout, add the anywhere metadata field to the Documents-Search and Workspaces-Search layouts.

  1. Now the field will display in the search and search in any field for that search criteria.

 

Database Search

Clients under the Analyze tier are provided with Data Sync which allows CAM to make a copy of the workspace/documents database from iManage or NetDocuments to perform a full database search.

Following are the steps to perform the API search operation:

  1. Go to the Workspace tab. The following screen displays:

Fields

Description

Fields

Description

Database

Select database names from the list.

Client

Select client names from the list.

Matter

Select matter names from the list.

Name

Specify the name of the Workspace or Workspaces to search.

Owner

Enter the owner name.

2. Click Search to get the result in a list or click Clear Fields to reset all the fields.

3. Click Switch to API Search to perform the database search operation.

Workspace Search results display the list of the record details.

When you select a folder in the workspaces tab, you can see all the folder-related operations in a panel on top of the selected folder.

Advanced Searching

Users can use more advanced search capabilities to search the Workspaces tab.

  • Whole name searching: If you are searching for a whole name, or phrase, or a part of a name, use brackets [] around the search.

  • Operator search: Use AND, OR or NOT in your search to filter records.

    • Dates can use the On or Before or On or After operators to filter dates in a certain range.

 Default Security

An icon displays now in the Default Security column for each folder under a workspace. The top level folder will have it’s icon in the expandable header, and each subfolder will be able to be expanded.

The levels are:

  1. Inherit

  2. Public

  3. Private

  4. View

And their icons show respectively in that same order as:
