Using the Intralinks VDRPro app for iOS

Starting the Intralinks VDRPro app

The first time that you start the Intralinks VDRPro app, your iPad or iPhone must be connected to the Internet. If you have never logged in to an Intralinks product, you must activate and set up your Intralinks account. A message will instruct you to log in using a web browser to set up your account. You  need to do this only once.

1. Tap the Intralinks icon to start the app. The Login screen appears.
2. Enter your email address and click Next.
3. Enter your password/passphrase, then tap Log In.
4. If you are asked to verify your identity, and your account is set up to use Intralinks Authenticator, the Verification code field is automatically populated. If you are using Okta Verify with Push, tap Yes it’s me in your Okta Verify app. Otherwise, select the method to use.
5. In the Verification code field, enter the verification code that you received. The last screen you used appears.

If your organization uses Single Sign-On (SSO), the app opens. If you have not signed into your organization’s network, you will be redirected to your company’s sign-on page.

If your organization does not use SSO, additional access control rules for logging in may be in place:

• Your organization may require only multi-factor authentication (MFA). If you were not asked to verify your identity in a previous step, you will be asked to do so. If your account is set up to use Intralinks Authenticator, the Verification code field is automatically populated. If you are using Okta Verify with Push, tap Yes, it's me in your Okta Verify app. Otherwise, select the method to use. In the Verification code field, enter the verification code that you received.
• Your organization may require only email verification. You will be asked to verify your identity using a verification code sent in email. In the Verification code field, enter the verification code that you received.
• Your organization may have a rule that requires both MFA and email verification. First, if you were not asked to verify your identity in a previous step, you will be asked to do so as described above. Then, your will be asked to verify your identity using a verification code sent in mail as described above.
• Your organization may have a rule that denies access to users who log in from certain IP address or IP address range. If you try to log in the an IP address that is not allowed, the message, "Your organization requires you to log in using an authorized network," is displayed.

Accessing and setting up Intralinks Authenticator

You can access the Intralinks Authenticator from the mobile app login screen by tapping Intralinks Authenticator or when you are logged in to the mobile app, by tapping Authenticator in the bottom right of the screen.

If you have already configured Intralinks Authenticator, enter the six-digit code displayed in the Intralinks Authenticator into the Verification code field in the application to which you are logging in.

If you have not configured Intralinks Authenticator, instructions are displayed explaining how to configure the Intralinks Authenticator in the Web application.

You can set up additional accounts by tapping the + icon in the top right. You can also delete accounts.

Using Touch ID or Face ID to access the app

If your iOS device has Touch ID or Face ID capability, you can use it to quickly access the Intralinks VDRPro app. (You must first log in using your email address and password.) You can continue to use Touch ID or Face ID to access the app until you log out. If you log out, you will have to enter your address and password to log in again.

If you have not set up Touch ID or Face ID on your device yet, you can do so by opening Apple’s Settings app, then tapping Touch ID & Passcode or Face ID & Passcode. Follow the instructions on the screen. The next time you open the Intralinks VDRPro app, you will be able to log in using your fingerprint or facial image.

Important! If you are using Touch ID, anyone whose fingerprint is enrolled on your device will be able to log into Intralinks VDRPro and view or change the contents of your exchanges. If you share your device with a colleague or family member who uses Touch ID, be sure to log out of Intralinks VDRPro before giving the device to them.

Tap the Exchanges option at the bottom of the screen to view a list of the exchanges that you have access to. The color of the bars indicates the exchange status: blue is open, yellow is in preparation, and orange is on hold.

Note: Exchange managers may choose NOT to make individual exchanges available on mobile devices. If a particular exchange that you need access to from your mobile device is not listed, contact the exchange manager and ask them to enable mobile access for the exchange.

Once you have found the exchange you want, tap it to view the folders and documents in the exchange.

To view a document, tap Documents, then tap on the document’s name. The names of documents that you have not opened yet appear in boldface.

To open the document in reading mode, click the  icon.

Documents opened on exchanges with download prevented may be blurred when they open. Tap the document to bring it into focus.

Filtering, searching and sorting the documents list

If you want to find a specific document or folder within the currently displayed list, begin typing its name in the Find bar. The list is filtered to match what you type.

To search across your entire exchange, enter your search term, then tap Search on the keyboard.

Alternatively, you can tap Search the entire exchange. Once your search results are displayed, you can use the Find field to narrow the results and find the document you want.

You also can sort the list by index number, name, type and last modified date. Tap the  icon to change the sorting method. After you select a sorting method, you can change the sort order from ascending to descending, or vice versa. The arrow on the icon will change to indicate the new sort order.

You also can copy a link to the document, which can be pasted in a text message, email, or other note.

Downloading documents for offline viewing

If your device is Touch ID or Face ID enabled, you can download documents for viewing when your device is not connected to the Internet or your data network. To download a document, swipe right on the document’s name and tap the Download option . (If you drag your finger right across the document, it will be downloaded automatically.)

To view documents that you have downloaded, tap the Downloads option at the bottom of the screen. You can quickly locate the document you want by swiping down on the Downloads list to reveal the Filter field at the top of the screen. Begin typing the document name. The list will be filtered to match what you type.

After you select a sorting method, you can change the sort order from ascending to descending, or vice versa. The arrow on the icon will change to indicate the new sort order.

Documents cannot be downloaded in some instances, for example:

• Documents cannot be downloaded from exchanges that require users to view a splash screen every time they open the exchange. (However, documents can be downloaded from exchanges that require users to view a splash screen only once.)
• Documents that are protected cannot be downloaded.
• The option to download documents does not appear if your device does not include the Touch ID feature.

If you want to remove a downloaded document from your device, display the Downloads list, then swipe right on the document’s name. When you delete a downloaded document, the original version in the Intralinks VDRPro exchange will not be affected.

Updating downloaded documents

Downloaded documents are automatically synced with the versions in the exchange, ensuring that the document on your device is the latest version.

When you begin using the Intralinks VDRPro app, it is set to allow documents to be updated automatically using either your data plan or WiFi. (If both a data connection and WiFi are available, WiFi will be used.) You can change your app settings to update documents only when WiFi is available. You also can stop automatic syncing; if you do this, you will have to update documents manually.

To change the way documents are synced, tap the Account option at the bottom of the screen to display the Settings screen.

To update documents manually, display the Downloads list and swipe down. If you have turned off automatic syncing, you must use this method to update your downloaded documents.

Annotating PDF files

While you are viewing PDF files, you can add notes, highlight text and add other editing changes using Intralinks’ VDRPro annotation tools. If you are a manager or publisher, you can annotate PDF files.

Your first and last name will be added to each of your annotations. When you finish making annotations and close the file, the changes are uploaded to the exchange, and the annotations will be visible to everyone who is allowed to view the file. Annotations can be edited, moved and deleted by others. The name of any person who modifies an annotation is attached to the annotation.

To annotate a PDF file, tap the file to open it, and then tap the Annotation icon  to display a toolbar with annotation options.

(On the iPhone, related icons are grouped together. If a small arrow appears in the lower right corner of the icon, press it to view the options that are hidden from view.)

You can use the following tools:

• Highlight – Tap this tool and then drag your finger over the text you wish to highlight.

The first time you select My Signature, you will be asked to draw your signature. After that, you can tap the signature to place it in the document. Each time you select Custom Signature, you must draw the signature again; no copy of the signature is kept for you.
• Notes – Notes appear within a Note box, which is closed until you tap the icon associated with it. You can change the color of the note box and icon, and the shape of the icon, by tapping Edit in the Note box.
• Pens – Two pen tools allow you to make freehand drawings. You can use the Ink tool to change the color, width and opacity of the lines made by the pen tools.

You can use the Eraser tool  to erase lines made with the Pen tools. You can use the Marquee tool  to select a number of annotations; you can then move them or delete them. The Undo and Redo tools  allow you to undo your actions or redo them if you change your mind.

Any changes you make in the Files app will be uploaded to your Intralinks VDRPro exchanges. For example, if you delete files and folders within an exchange, they will be removed for all users. Any downloaded copies of the files will be deleted, as well.

If you delete files in your Downloads folder, the files will be removed from your device, but the original versions in the exchange will not be affected.

Some exchanges and documents cannot be selected in the Files app. They include:

• Exchanges that require a private or public declaration (PvP).
• Exchanges that require users to view a splash screen before opening.
• Documents that are IRM protected.
• Folders and documents that require users to view a note before opening.

Depending on how your data room was configured, you may or may not have access to the Insights dashboards. If you have the Manager Plus role, you can use the Deal Room Insights dashboards to get a more detailed view of reviewers’ activity within your exchange. The following charts and tables are available: 

• The Group Activity Ranking dashboard shows buyers’/participants' data room activity, making it easy to determine which buyers/participants are most actively using the data room and focus attention on them.
• Top Users chart and table- shows the top ten most active users in the VDR, making it easy for managers to determine which users are most actively viewing documents and focus attention on them. To view the table, tap Details. Tap the filter icon to filter by time or group.
• The Data Room Usage dashboard offers details about exchange usage that is reflected in the bills your organization receives from Intralinks.
• Top Documents chart and table - Shows the top 10 documents that have been accessed the most in the VDR by buyer and exchange groups. A document is considered accessed when viewed or downloaded. To view the table, tap Details. Tap on a document to preview it. To navigate to the parent folder, swipe left and tap Go to Folder.

Information in the dashboards is updated every 15 minutes.

The Group Activity Ranking dashboard

The dashboard includes a graph that shows the 10 most active groups within the data room. Activity is displayed as a percentage and is based on the total number of VDR visits and unique documents accessed. A document is considered accessed when viewed or downloaded. Group activity includes all group members with Manager, Publisher, Reviewer, Reviewer Plus, and Previewer roles.

The Group Activity Ranking section of the dashboard shows more detailed information about all the groups in the data room, including the percentage of data room activity each group accounts for and the number of data room visits and document accesses (views and downloads) by members of each group. Arrow icons indicate whether each group was more or less active in the selected timeframe, compared to their overall activity since joining the exchange. Changes in activity can indicate growing or waning interest in a deal.

How buyer/participant activity information is calculated

Here are some key points to remember when viewing the information in this dashboard:

• If a user is included in two (or more) groups, the user’s activity will be included in the activity for both groups.
• Only one visit is counted per session. A session lasts from the time a group member logs into Intralinks VDRPro until the group member logs out, closes the browser or is inactive for an hour or more and is logged out automatically.
• The “Documents accessed” count is updated whenever a group member views or downloads a document. If two members access the same document, it is only counted once.
• When IRM- protected documents are downloaded, Intralinks continues to track the number of times they are viewed, and each time an IRM-protected document is opened, the “Documents accessed” count is updated. When documents that are not IRM protected are downloaded, the “Documents accessed” count is updated once for the download only; subsequent viewings are not tracked or reported.
• When exchange groups include people with a variety of roles, only the accesses by people with the Reviewer role are counted. This is to ensure that all buyer/participant activity is included, but activity from other data room members is limited.

The Data Room Usage dashboard

You can use the Data Room Usage dashboard to see your organization’s commercial terms with Intralinks, daily data usage (number of pages and/or gigabytes of data used, number of users), any overage amounts that affect your billing if your organization’s contract with Intralinks includes overages, the largest folders and files on your exchange, and invoice numbers for your Intralinks bills.

When the dashboard is displayed, it shows information for the past 30 days, but you can select a shorter or longer timeframe if you like.

Depending upon your organization’s contract terms with Intralinks, some information in this chapter may not apply to you.

The dashboard is divided into three sections: the Contract Information section, the Overview graph, and the Daily Usage Breakdown table.

The Contract Information section

The Contract Information section provides an at-a-glance view of your Intralinks contract and actual usage. If your contract covers more than one exchange, the information displayed is for all exchanges included in the contract.

The Billing Metric is specified on the contract. The metric may be the number of pages uploaded to the exchange(s); the size of the files uploaded, in megabytes or gigabytes; or the number of people who have access to the exchange.

The Included Quantity is the number of pages or people, or the total file size you can add to the exchange without incurring additional overage charges. Actual Usage show the actual usage since the exchange was launched. Not Used shows any remaining quantity available, if any, before overage charges may be applied; if an overage occurs, the title changes to Overage, and the overage amount is displayed.

The Contract Period is the time range covered by the contract.

The Overview graph

The Overview graph is a visual representation of your organization’s usage over the past 30 days. You can select another timeframe if you like.

The graph shows actual usage, the included quantity, and any overages.

The Daily Usage Breakdown

The Daily Usage Breakdown provides a detailed day-to-day view of the information in the Overview graph. The information is displayed in a table format.

To display the dashboards

Remember: The Insights dashboards are available only to users with the Manager Plus exchange role.

1. Display the Documents list.
2. Tap the Insights button at the top of the screen. The Insights screen appears.

Filters can help you to determine the groups that are most active this week, for example. The range of dates in the selected timeframe is displayed at the top of the screen.

   Using this information, you can make judgments about each buyer/participant group’s level of interest in your deal, and whether groups that show interest in the first weeks of the deal continue to show interest as the due diligence process continues. Keep in mind that the data on the dashboard is updated once every 24 hours, and the filtered information is accurate as of the last update. Activity that occurs after the most recent dashboard update will be included the next time the dashboard is updated.
