Metadata management

    Hello team, 
    Metadata are a very good thing, but it would be more effective if we could also manage them at the level of each project.
    Do you plan to offer this in the future?


    As in the Property Set Manager, it is important to be able to manage access control.

    Hi Alexandre,

    I am assuming you are referring to the File metadata feature in Connect for Browser application. Is your request - that it should be possible to manage the access control for the File metadata (Full access / Read only / No access) at a project level ? 

    Could you please clarify. If the request is something else, could you please elaborate a bit more. 

     

    Regards

    Two subjects:

    -The first is to be able to manage metadata, project by project.
    Companies certainly have similar procedures between projects, but projects may also require specific properties.

    It is therefore necessary to be able to manage metadata on a project by the project administrator.

     

    -The second subject is to limit access to certain properties to certain people (Full access / Read only / No access). Again, project-by-project management, because the teams and users are different for each project.

     

    Is that clearer?

    Got it. Thanks Alexandre. 

    a. The first item - having different templates at each project level was thought about earlier, but our analysis found that most companies / accounts would have same attributes across projects for files. So it was not taken up. Now that we have input from you, we will re-assess this. 

    b. The second subject on controlling level of access of file metadata to project members wasn't considered earlier. 

     

    We will add both these to our backlog. Thanks for the inputs.
