RBRO Products

• Automatically saves changes made to checked-out documents directly to iManage Work, without the need to close and check-in the document.
• Reduces the risk of lost work, saves time and improves user efficiency.
• Facilitates rapid-paced document collaboration by ensuring that users access the most up-to-date documents.

Sure Save is a tool that dramatically reduces risk and decreases the time involved in saving changed documents to iManage Work, by automatically uploading changes to Work without the need to close and check-in the document. It is a tool that extends the peace of mind and protection by ensuring that every save operation is captured within Work.

Sure Save helps users to easily engage in document collaboration by automatically saving and capturing changes within Work. As a result, users who access a document while it is checked-out will be able to view a read-only version of the latest edits. This valuable feature facilitates document collaboration by ensuring that users always have access to the most up-to-date documents.

• Reduces risk (by allowing non-integrated documents to be saved within iManage Work)
• Improves productivity and streamlines the e-filing process
• Allows users to save file types not supported within a standard iManage Work environment
• Directly uploads documents from the document management system (DMS) to websites and downloads documents from web browsers to the DMS—activity is automatically dated, tracked and detailed
• Administer from anywhere
• Centralized administration with iManage Control Centre

While users can save and open ‘integrated’ documents such as Microsoft® Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Adobe® Acrobat® files within the iManage Work environment, this is often not sufficient for today’s workplaces. With the increasing complexity and variety of work performed by many organizations, the use of programs outside of the accepted integrated suite of products is commonplace. As a result, the ability to effectively manage all documents within the document management system (DMS), regardless of file type, can be limited.

Link2DMS Intercept makes some of the most popular non-integrated applications into integrated applications. Link2DMS Intercept is a powerful and easy-to-use software tool that enables you to save and open documents created with non-native integrated applications directly within iManage Work. Use to integrate web browsers and web-based applications on the browser level or only on designated pages.

Link2DMS Conduit is a service component of Link2DMS that provides direct integration into iManage Work and robust linking within MS Excel documents to documents in iManage Work through standard Windows interfaces, allowing applications that use external links to operate within the iManage Work environment as they do in a file system.

• Provide users the ability to organize the shortcuts in their “My Matters” or “My Favourites” by selecting a pre-defined categorization method
• Increase the speed to launch Microsoft Outlook for FileSite clients, if the user has a large number of shortcuts. Shortcuts can be compressed and categorized for a quicker launch
• Develop dynamic templates to automatically create shortcuts to new workspaces and update a user’s workspace shortcuts list, based on specified metadata
• Push out specific workspaces to the shortcuts lists of designated staff to ensure that they have quick and consistent access to company content
• Backup, restore or purge shortcuts
• Notify users when new shortcuts have been added to their workspace shortcuts list

Shortcuts Management allows administrators to generate and manage shortcuts templates for company-wide distribution, improving user productivity through meaningful shortcuts’ organization and quick access to relevant content.

Once an administrator has created a set of approved shortcuts’ structures, users have a finite number of ways to set up their shortcuts; workspace shortcuts are organized in a similar manner for all users across the organization. This standardization helps to facilitate collaboration between users and makes the navigation of iManage Work to relevant workspaces much easier and quicker.

• Allows designated end-users to provision the data that can be used to generate workspaces.
• End-users simply have to select metadata from an approved list and provide a workspace name. A separate workspace generation task can then be used to generate the workspace with the information chosen by the end-user.
• Can act as a matter or project management system for those organizations or firms that do not have central billing or management system, or wish to generate workspaces that are not based on standard fields, such as administrative or departmental workspaces.

Corporate File Manager provides users with the ability to create the metadata required to provision workspaces by making field selections from an approved list, and providing a name or description of the workspace. This information is stored in a database and can then be used to automatically generate workspaces, just as a matter or project management system would provide.

Authorize is composed of two sets of functionality: Ethical Walls and Team Management.

• Dynamic metadata-based security
• External security validation
• Multi-layered prioritized security
• Defined security exemptions
• Wall-team and user expiry

Ethical Walls

• Instant ethical verification
• Flexible conflict resolution options

Team Management

• Group-based security
• Teams based on specific iManage Work content
• Teams based on strategic groups or departments
• Delegated management
• Automatic team generation

Authorize is a complete system that provides peace of mind to organizations dealing with the issue of ethical wall security and security management. Authorize makes it easy to create security templates based on any combination of metadata values or to create dynamic teams and apply them to any content at any time.

Authorize: Team Management
This feature of Authorize provides the ability to create teams of users and match them to specific custom field values or to specific iManage Work items. A client component allows managers to apply teams to iManage Work items and to manage the users within a team.

Authorize: Ethical Walls
This feature of Authorize provides administrators the tools to create access and denial user lists for selected metadata. When a new document is saved into the DMS, ethical wall security is instantly applied based on the client or matter information. Changes to ethical walls are applied to documents by a task that may be automated to run periodically.

Automatically generate and update workspaces in iManage Work from almost any data source. Easily apply changes to the templates and workspaces as needed.

• On a scheduled or adhoc basis, automatically generate new workspaces based on pre-configured data definitions and templates, or pulled from multiple external or internal sources
• Create new workspace templates based on existing templates or any existing workspace
• Associate existing workspaces with Workspace Management templates for easy updates
• Easily change or update workspace structures, security and metadata across multiple libraries
• Automatically move sub-folders and their files from one folder to another
• Maintain the structure, profile and security of workspaces so that they consistently match their assigned template
• Update metatdata and security on workspaces, folders and documents not associated with a template
• Easily merge duplicate workspaces based on specific criteria

Workspace Management allows for total administrative control of iManage Work workspace structures through an intuitive visual interface and ensures that workspaces maintain the same structure as their associated templates.

Workspace Management includes Metadata Management, a tool that allows administrators to view, edit and add custom values, document classes, applications and document types across all connected iManage Work libraries simultaneously.

• Monitor for changes on the iManage repository
• Copy content, relevant metadata and security to the Auxiliary Cache repository
• Notifies administrators of important events related to data coming from iManage
• Ensures the Auxiliary Cache repository accurately represents content from the cloud
• Facilitates validation requests from administrators for ranges of documents
• Enables administrators to generate a range of reports about the content of the Auxiliary Cache respository

As organizations increase their participation in the iManage Cloud, questions arise regarding the need for auxiliary access to content for reporting, integration and alternate-use cases in emergency situations.

Transport – Auxiliary Cache (AC) enables a secure, on-premise or cloud-based repository to host a continuously updated copy of information from iManage Cloud or iManage on-premise repositories, providing for read-only direct access to facilitate operations not normally available. It can also act as an independent backup for additional assurance.

• Export to an external drive, with the option of including an ‘auto-run’ file and/or a Microsoft Word content file with hyperlinks
• Comprehensive export includes all documents or folders referenced within a structure
• Users can control the metadata to be included in the content or log file

Easy Export is a straightforward and powerful end-user tool that allows for the export of documents, folders or entire workspaces from iManage Work to any location while providing the option to create a linked index file of all exported content.  An export preview feature allows users to preview the content to be exported and to select the content to be included in the export.

With Easy Export, all documents or folders referenced by iManage Work shortcuts or search folders can be included in the export. Users can be confident that their exports include all referenced content and can see a list of each document and folder that is to be included before exporting.

Users have the option of controlling the type and amount of metadata to be included in the log file that is generated for each export. This allows users to include identifying information about the exported documents and assists in the reintegration of documents into another document management system.

• Export documents based on metadata or specific database queries
• Create custom folder structures based on metadata values
• Export the most recent document version only or export all document versions
• Overwrite previously exported documents that have been updated
• Search and replace the names of documents and folders

Export Management allows administrators to schedule and automate the mass export of documents from iManage Work. Exports can include the entire workspace and folder structure or a custom folder structure can be created.

The mass export of documents can take up a significant amount of time, which can have an impact on the allocation of IT resources. Export Management takes this load off of the IT department by allowing administrators to configure the scope of the export task and have it run at a specific time or on a scheduled basis.

• Allows users to ‘right-click’ individual documents, a series of documents or entire folders in the Microsoft Windows file system for import into iManage Work
• Automatically applies destination workspace metadata to documents during the import process
• Incorporates seamless profiling and allows users to maintain consistent document and folder organization within iManage Work

Easy Import is an easy-to-use tool that allows users to directly move or copy documents and/or folders from the Microsoft Windows file system into iManage Work. It allows:

• non-uniform structures to be easily imported into iManage Work by end-users;
• content to be migrated when needed, instead of relying on a larger administrator-managed import; and
• quick and easy import of content provided by clients or new staff.

Easy Import allows individual users to import their locally-saved documents to iManage Work.  To maintain consistent organization, Easy Import allows users to directly import a Microsoft Windows folder structure into iManage Work. In addition, documents imported into iManage Work with Easy Import will automatically be profiled with the metadata of the destination workspace and folder. With Easy Import, users simply have to ‘right-click’ the document or folder to be imported and:

• move or copy individual documents to iManage Work, with the option to add the document as a new version, new document or to overwrite an existing iManage Work document;
• simultaneously move or copy multiple documents and/or folders into iManage Work, or
• move or copy entire folder structures to iManage Work.

• Tag folders without having iManage Work pre-installed and configured
• Use variables to look up metadata in external systems
• Rename folders to indicate tagging information
• Move folders that have been tagged to a network location
• Store tagging metadata into a database table for later use
• Specific DMS locations can be selected while tagging when importing into existing iManage Work environments
• Easy Tag mode makes Import Management setup easy

Easy Tag is an RBRO WorkSite System Manager (WSM) snap-in/client tool that enables an administrator to setup specific metadata fields and values that are then applied to folders in a Windows file system using the Easy Tag client. Metadata fields and values may be derived from any database or an Excel worksheet.

Easy Tag snap-in includes functionality to:

• configure the selection of metadata fields and values that will be selected from using the client;
• define an import folder naming convention to facilitate the import of tagged folders;
• store tag information for retrieval in WSM database;
• designate path for folder relocation to facilitate import or to organize content; and
• designate iManage Work connections that determine which iManage Work libraries may be selected as a copy destination within the client.

The Easy Tag client component includes functionality to:

• simply right-click on a folder or mulitple folders in the file system and select Easy Tag from the ‘Sent To’ submenu;
• select metadata fields and values to apply to selected folders;
• view existing tags on individual folders;
• rename tagged folders with tag values and invoke the relocation process; and
• select an iManage Work location as the import destination of the folder contents.

When setting up an organization’s iManage Work document management system, the initial import of content can be a time-consuming and difficult challenge. Import Management quickly imports documents and emails into Work, minimizing both risk and downtime.

Import Management is a leading migration tool that allows organizations to quickly migrate email and document content from any document management system (DMS) or folder/file system quickly.

Import Management – Documents automatically assigns metadata values to specific documents based on either the metadata associated with the document, or via a text file or query. Migrated documents are filed into the appropriate workspaces based on their metadata, or new workspaces can be created using imported metadata, ensuring that documents are not lost in ‘flat space’ during import. As with metadata, document security can be inherited when filing documents in Work, or default security and individual access permissions can be applied via data definitions.

Import Management – Email migrates email content from PST files, Exchange public folders and user inboxes into Work, while maintaining the same mail-based structure.

• Copying documents, folders and folder structures between libraries does not require the export of content outside of iManage Work.
• Supports legal hold and archiving/retention initiatives.
• Populate new workspaces with template documents.
• Select documents and folders and copy them to other connected iManage Work libraries or new libraries within the same server.

One of the most basic functions that firms perform within their iManage document management system (DMS) is copying of documents, folders and folder structures from one library location to another. This functionality is useful for pre-creating folders and document templates for new workspaces or preserving content at a point in time, while continuing to work on different copies of the documents.

Transport Quick Copy is an end-user migration tool that enables users to copy folders and documents to other iManage Work databases within DeskSite or FileSite (i.e., within their own iManage Work library).

• Provides automated tasks for copying folders and documents from one iManage Work library to another.
• Perform mass copies of folders and documents from one workspace to another, quickly and easily.
• Effortlessly merge multiple iManage Work libraries into one library.
• Migrate data into a new iManage Work library and/or partition existing libraries into two or more while mapping security and metadata appropriately.
• Move data between iManage Work libraries while considering data integrity, metadata, user shortcuts and NRL links.
• Archive targeted content from existing iManage Work databases into a designated Archive Library.
• Use Metadata Management tool (a separate snap-in tool developed by RBRO Solutions) task as a sub-task to copy missing metadata from the source library into the destination library while documents are being archived.

One of the most basic functions that firms perform within their iManage document mangement system (DMS) is copying of documents, folders and folder structures from one library location to another. This functionality is useful for pre-creating folders and document templates for new workspaces or preserving content at a point in time, while continuing to work on different copies of the documents.

Transport Administrative automates this process of moving content within the iManage Work infrastructure. Transport Administrative is quick, user-friendly, configurable, cost-effective, and allows firms to update their document library structure to meet ongoing needs. It also improves user search functionality by moving unnecessary content to an archive library on a scheduled basis, ensuring that only active content is visible to users.

The NRL Interceptor that comes as an add-on feature to Transport Administrative automatically re-directs shortcut links to the correct document, even if it has been moved to a new library.
