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.

Document_number

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]

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*
Editor$true

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

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.
