Now you can implement and manage a real metadata strategy!
Many organizations realize that users will spend minimal time filling in metadata when organizing content in SharePoint. Alexya’s™ Metadata Manager feature simplifies metadata capture by replicating folder metadata to your documents and apply security to specific column. SharePoint Server 2010 Document Sets provide some basic functionality to replicate metadata from folders to documents. However, Alexya’s™ Metadata Manager feature allows you to define your metadata strategy at the library level and apply your rules throughout the folder hierarchy. You can also apply SharePoint column security and establish who can view or edit the column.

Organize and Control Your Content
Typical users are not concerned with content organization. They just want to find what they need, with minimal effort when it comes to tagging or adding metadata to it. Our Metadata Manager feature will help you ensure that metadata is embedded in your documents when they are uploaded to SharePoint. |  |
Save Time and Money
Save time and money Adding Metadata Replication within your SharePoint architecture eliminates the need for users to enter common metadata on a routine basis. For example, when a document is dropped in a project folder, our Metadata Manager feature will replicate common metadata onto this document, such as the project number, project owner, project status, etc. Time is money: save it! |
