DocAuto has announced the release of a new add-in to iManage DeskSite or FileSite that allows users to quickly and easily import content, preserving organisational structures if desired, from native operating system folders and subfolders directly into WorkSite.

The iImport Desktop program features an easy-to-use Windows Explorer-like interface that is simple and intuitive.

With iImport Desktop, users can extend the native FileSite/DeskSite import capabilities on their workstations to import multiple documents or entire folder structures at once. The product includes document filtering capabilities, and the ability for administrators to limit where content can be imported.

For example, eligible “targets” for import operations can be restricted to WorkSpace-centric locations, such as WorkSpaces, Tabs, or WorkSpace Folders, or expanded to include non-WorkSpace centric locations, such as the root of a WorkSite database, or “legacy” Folder structures.

“iImport Desktop is an entry-level version of our powerful, long-established iImport product, that addresses common needs we see for simpler importing tools designed for non-technical users,” said David Kiefer, president of DocAuto.

“The intuitive Windows Explorer-like interface makes it very accessible to a broad range of users, and the administrative capabilities allow the product to be “locked down” into a specific configuration to further streamline the import process for end users.”
