Most firms using iManage will utilise both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those firms, the main use case for having both is to provide users with the flexibility to access either their personal or departmental clause options via Clippings as well as the firm-wide curated clause library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advantage of using both is that it allows users\nto personalise Clippings (ie modify clauses) and keep them in their\n&#8220;Personal&#8221; Clippings location. It also allows departments to maintain\ntheir own clause libraries&nbsp; without\nhaving to go through IT, KM or Precedents departments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For non-iManage sites, Clippings can be a powerful utility where security policies can be applied to the Personal, Shared and Global locations to dictate Read\/Write\/Modify permissions. This way KM\/Precedent departments can still have the power to curate Global and Shared locations, but provide users flexibility to modify and use their preferred clauses via their Personal location.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The option that is right for you depends on your\nfirms policies and preferences. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ways to manage standardised clauses is one of the most common requests we get.
