Overview

A Modify Workspace/Folder/Document job allows you to modify a Workspace in an external system via scripting, CSV, or a CAM Workflow. The Modify Workspace job includes renaming, metadata changes, and security changes. The Modify Workspace job does not modify the template or reapply any template changes. Template changes are applied to new workspaces (on a going-forward basis). If you wish to apply a Template to an existing workspace, you can use the "Apply to workspace" feature in the Template Editor and select one or more existing workspaces. For more information on Template Editor, click here.

Modifying Workspace in iManage

 iManage

Metadata Field

When

Required

Supported

Values

Description

Example

Job

Optional

createormodify

workspace

Denotes the job type

 

AddFolders

Optional: Adds missing folders

AddFolders=1 then adds any missing folders to the template structure.

AddFolders=0, then skip adding any missing folders.

If a workspace is not linked to CAM and has a different folder structure than the template used for the workspace, the missing folders can be either added dynamically, or skipped/not added to keep the template structure.

AddFolders: 1

Unique Metadata Fields

Mandatory

String/Integer

The fields within CAM that are set as unique

  • Best practice: Set the unique metadata field to a field that is unlikely to change during the life of the matter/project (eg SystemId).

  •  Other metadata fields such as Client and Matter can be set as unique within CAM, but if these values are changed at a later point, a new workspace may be created (see the opening notes for further details on the Create Workspace process)

Other Metadata Fields

Recommended

Dependent on Metadata Field

These are the metadata values you want to apply to the Workspace and folders

To download sample, sample modify workspace in iManage.csv, click Here

Systems

Mandatory

imanage

Denotes the system you wish to change a Workspace in

This replaces the ‘CreateIniManage’ column, although this is still supported. If you use this column instead, the supported values are 1 (true) or 0 (false)

Server

Optional

String

If not included, CAM will use the default server set within External System Configuration

 

Database

Optional

String

If not included, CAM will use the default database set within External System Configuration

 

DefaultSecurity

Recommended

Private, Public or View

The default security of the workspace – include if you want this to change on the workspace

 

Userid

Optional

String

iManage UserID or UserEmail.

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

Security

Optional

String – see example

The format for the security column:

[useremail]  |  {allow or deny=true or false]  #  [expiration date]  *  [role]  $  [isGroup=true or false]

Roles are defined as the roles mapped with the source system here: https://pdocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CCAM/pages/28409975/Source+System+Configuration#Role-Permission-Mapping

 

CAM also supports the following parameter setting for the matter/user/group security:

@MatterTeam@/@userid@/@groupid@

Examples are as follows:

 Users:

Adding an Admin ( iManage Full Access) bob.bradely@demofirm.com|true#23/12/2019*Admin$true

Adding an Editor (iManage Read/Write access)

firstnamelastname2@firmname.com|true#null*Editor$true

Adding a Watcher (iManage Read only)

firstnamelastname3@firmname.com|true#null*Watcher$true

Denying Access (iManage No Access)

firstnamelastname4@firmname.com|false#null*Deny$true

Groups:

For example, adding an editor group

PartnersGroup|true#11/3/2021*Editor$true

 

Note: Dates are based on your system setting found here: Admin->Settings.

  •  If multiple entries are included in this column, separate each entry by a comma: firstnamelastname@firmname.com|true#null*Admin$false,Group4|false#null*Deny$true

 

 

 

RemoveSecurity

Optional

String (see example)

Use this field to remove a user’s or group’s access from the Workspace

Remove User: bob.bradley@demo-firm.com|User OR userid=sampleuser@firm.com|isgroup=0

Remove Group: Partners|Group OR groupid=Partners|isgroup=1

 Remove User from Group: bob.bradley@demo-firm.com|Partner

RefileDocsAndFolders

Optional

1 (true) or 0 (false)

Use this field to pull through any changes to the Folders' and Documents' Profiles from the modified Workspace Profile. Security refile is not done by this parameter, as only the profile is updated here. See the Copy SecuritytoDocuments parameter below to do security for documents.

 

copysecuritytodocuments

Optional

1 (true) or 0 (false)

Copies the security to the document profile from the workspace profile.

UpdatemoreSecuredDocuments

Optional

1 (true) or 0 (false)

If you have documents on a parent folder that are more secured, and you have the rights to modify, you can update them using this parameter.

WorkspaceName

Optional

String

Changed Workspace Name - include if you want this to change on the workspace

 

AddToMyMatters

Optional

iManage UserID or UserEmail

This field adds the workspace to a user’s My Matters section in iManage. Please note: My Matters needs to be enabled in iManage for the applicable user/s.

ALEXEY.MARCUS or alexey.marcus@demo-firm.com

Category

Optional (AddToMyMatters required)

String

This column is used for the My Matter Category you want to add the Workspace to (applies to the users specified in AddToMyMatters). If category does not exist, then CAM will create it. To add the Workspace to a sub-category, use the below format:

Note: If you plan to set workspaces with no templates in the Workspace Wizard or CSV Import, you will need to setup a metadata field for NoTemplate in CAM.

This format would be:

  • Metadata name= NoTemplate
