Create Metadata
Overview
Metadata is information about your document and is generally known as "data about data". A Create Metadata job allows you to add metadata values against existing Lookup type Metadata Fields. You can add metadata values against CAM, iManage, NetDocuments, and/or Office365 existing Lookup type Metadata Fields.
Supporting CSV Parameters
Do not use non-alphanumeric characters in metadata key names or ID’s. The only supported non-alphanumeric character is underscore.
Metadata Field | When Required | Supported Values | Description | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
Job | Mandatory | CreateMetadata | Allows you to create metadata value. |
|
Look Up Metadata Fields You Want To Add Values To | Mandatory | String | These are the Lookup Metadata fields that you want to add values to. | To download sample sample create metadata.csv, click Here |
Document_number | Optional | String | Adds the document number metadata. For service desk, you need to ensure _ is in the parameter document_number | Document_number: 1234 |
Systems | Recommended | String The accepted values are - IManage, CAM, NetDocuments, Office365 Case sensitive
| If you do not include this column, or leave it blank, CAM will assume you wish to add a value to a CAM only Lookup type Metadata Field. It is strongly advised that you use this column. | This replaces the ‘CreateInIManage’, ‘CreateInNetDocuments’ and ‘CreateInOffice365’ columns, although these are still supported. If you use these create parameter columns instead, the supported values are 1 (true) or 0 (false) |
Security | NetDocuments Only - Optional | String | The format for the security column: [useremail] | {allow or deny=true or false] # [expiration date] * [role] $ [isGroup=true or false] For more information see the video, click here | This column assigns security of NetDocuments Metadata. For example, you are adding a ClientId value via a CreateMetdata job and want a user (stated in the Security Column) to be able to access any workspaces with this Client Id Examples: User: Bob.bradley@demo-firm.com|true#NULL*Admin$false Group: Partners|true#NULL* If multiple entries are included in this column, separate each entry by a comma and save the file as tab delimited. CAM will recognize a tab-delimited file when uploading as a CSV file in the Jobs tab. |
Server | Optional | String | If not included, CAM will use the default server set within External System Configuration. |
|
Database | iManage Only - Optional | String | If not included, CAM will use the default database set within External System Configuration. |
|
CabinetName | NetDocuments Only - Optional | String | You can use either CabinetName or CabinetId. If not included, CAM will use the default Cabinet set within External System Configuration. |
|
CabinetID | NetDocuments Only - Optional | String | You can use either CabinetName or CabinetId. If not included, CAM will use the default Cabinet set within External System Configuration. |
|
Queue | Optional | 1 | Include this column if you use the same CSV/script again with no changes to the values. |
