| Tip |

Important: To create MS Team workspace through Request Access, you need to configure the Office365 unique metadata. |
Configuring Unique Metadata
Allows you to add unique metadata to the workspace dialog created here. This metadata is displayed in the selected panel
Click the Add New button in the far right column to assign unique metadata to the workspace. In the Add Unique Metadata window, the following dialog opens -
Fields | Description |
|---|---|
Metadata | Select the Metadata value as CreateInOffice365 from the dropdown list. |
Default Value | Enter the default value to be assigned to the metadata value. |
Is Hidden | Select the Hidden status value. |
Is Read Only | Select the read only value. |
Display Label | Enter a display name for the metadata. Make this as specific as needed to differentiate between similar metadata names that may exist. |
Help Text | Enter help text to be displayed as a tool-tip on the custom field. |
Type | Select the type of metadata from the drop-down. Options include:
|
Look Up | By default Look up value is No for selected metadata value. |
Order | Set the order of the metadata to be displayed on the panel. |
Panel | Select the panel for the metadata to be displayed. Based on the selection here the fields will be displayed in the panel. |
Editable | Select Yes to allow the metadata value to be edited in the workspace dialog. |
Lock Existing Values | This option doesn't allow users to create a new workspace using previously added values of specific metadata, locking the existing metadata. When a new Unique Metadata field in Configure Wizard is added, the option to Lock Existing Values displays. If Lock Existing Values is selected as Yes, Create a new value option should be automatically selected as Yes. The option No should be disabled. Also, the Default Value option is disabled. If the Metadata with Lock Existing Values option is 'No', then users can only add values to Metadata by clicking the '+' button. After the user enters values for that Metadata, there is a validation to check if that value already exists. If the value already exists, the user should not be able to save that value. E.g. Lock existing set to yes and is parent set to yes, means the unique metadata field matter will not allow inputting duplicate matters if any parent matters exist. If no for parent, and yes for lock, then if the metadata exists in entire system, then the value can't be added. |
Click Save to add unique metadata or click Cancel to close the dialog
