Metadata & Content Types

What Is Metadata?

Metadata is descriptive information like author, department, or project name that makes files easier to manage. It provides context beyond the file name itself.
Improved Search
By applying metadata, users can filter and find documents faster. It enhances search results, especially in large libraries.

Custom Columns

Organizations can create custom columns to capture details unique to their business processes. This makes content more tailored and easier to categorize.

Content Types

Content types combine templates, metadata, and workflows into reusable models. They ensure that specific document types follow the same rules across sites.

Standardization Across Sites

Using content types across libraries enforces consistency, so documents follow the same structure and policies regardless of location.
