Folder Properties dialog box

Use this dialog box to set properties for folders to be created at run time.

Folder properties can only be set for folders that have not yet been created. To open this dialog box, click the Set folder properties button on the Destination tab of the iManage Work component configuration dialog box.

Option Description
Description Enter a description for the folder if the folder does not yet exist.
Inherit profile from the parent folder If a folder is a subfolder of another folder, then checking this box copies the fields of parent folder onto this new folder.
A document/folder can have several parent folders; therefore, it inherits the properties from the first found parent folder on the server.
Profile Information for Document Folder Select the profile fields you wish to set for the folder.
  • Name is the property field name.
  • Value is the field associated with the Name.

For some names, a list of values is pre-defined. You can only choose from those values after the Name specified. You can enter any Value when the Name entry is not associated with a lookup list.

The custom21 — custom24 fields can only accept a date value, as these fields are designated explicitely as date fields within iManage Work.

The custom25 — custom28 fields can only accept a Boolean (True or False) value, as these fields are designated explicitely as Boolean fields within iManage Work.

There are two parent-child relationships, the custom1-custom2 and the custom29-custom30. You can only add them in order from parent to child and remove them in the reverse order.

If the Inherit profile from the arent folder check box is selected and the profile information fields are added, the folder first inherits the fields of parent folder and then set the fields given in the list. Any fields added in the profile information field list overwrites the fields inherited from parent folder.
