Managing Metadata

NOTE:

This application is also available to Tier 2 users.

Metadata defines additional information about the container or document. It can be considered data about the data. For example, a user may want to know which matter the file is associated with, which billing code to use, the document status, the responsible lawyer, and other information. In addition, this information may change periodically and have to be updated, such as if the responsible lawyer changes, or, in the case of email, to automatically record the receive date. These fields provide a container to store information related to the item but not directly in the item. Custom fields names can changed, or customized, to match your business' terms. A company name, matter, or other relevant label can be used to make the use of the field more obvious.

The following features are available for metadata:

  • Ability to search metadata: Allows you to enter the metadata value to be searched.

  • Ability to filter metadata: Allows you to filter metadata. Selectimages/download/thumbnails/47338300/filter-icc.png to filter by HIPAA Compliant and Enable. You also see Clear All option. This helps you to clear filter inputs.
