Welcome to the LINK App Feature Roundup, where you can find information on new, enriching features of the LINK App.
You can learn more about these and other new features by visiting our Feature Roundup page, or by clicking the links to the Quick Tips noted below.
Import a Newly Created Document from a Microsoft Office App
Now you can create a new document in one of the Microsoft Office Apps (like Office M365, Word, Excel, or PowerPoint) and import that document to either LINK files or your DMS.
Check-in a File Shared in a Teams Channel to DMS
There are multiple ways you can check in a file shared in a Teams Channel to your DMS workspace. The simplest way allows you to do so from within the LINK app, saving you from having to open the Teams app separately.
UI Enhancements for Email
There are multiple improvements to the look of the email UI. The most noticeable differences are a redesign of the address selector (when you are writing an email and selecting email addresses) and a redesign of the attachments overlay that pops up when you are attaching a file to an email.
With the new Attachment Overlay, easily navigate all available file repositories, including iManage, NetDocuments, OneDrive, Emails, Notes, and more. You can add multiple files at once by using the multi-select feature – simply tap the checkboxes next to the files you want to attach. You can also choose the format of each file you attach.
UI Enhancements for DMS
There are a few navigation improvements in our iManage app. First, we have added quick action buttons to send emails or edit a file in iManage. Second, we have added a button at the top-left that allows you to quickly bring up the root of the iManage work area so that you can switch from wherever you are browsing to Recent Docs, My Matters, etc. We’ve also added a list of recent items to the homepage of iManage and recent and favorite items to the homepage of NetDocuments.
Microsoft Outlook Configuration Features
Our LINK Email integrates with Microsoft Exchange and has many beneficial features, including the ability to open NRLs, establish predictive email filing to DMS, and more. Some law firms have opted for a configuration of LINK that instead uses the Microsoft Outlook app for email. In these cases, we implement the “open in hook” to connect the MS Outlook app to the LINK app. The following are common workflows that illustrate this configuration.
Open an NRL in the Microsoft Outlook App
Email Multiple Files via the Microsoft Outlook App
Import an Attachment from Email to iManage
Compare an Attachment to a File in iManage
The LINK App is designed to make working easier for lawyers. This roundup is just a snapshot of the newest features to improve productivity and user experience. There are even more ways to use LINK to optimize your workflows.
