Globally Enable Metadata Columns to File Search Results

Related products: Search and Data Exploration

Please add the ability to globally enable metadata categories as default columns.

  • For example on files - since the majority of our files are P&IDs (and the file titles are numbers) we would like to have the metadata categories such as drawing title or description a default option for our network rather than have to show everyone how to add it every time they log in - a large population are not computer savvy and this would help with product integration/user friendliness.

Hi @etatetoohey !
Thank you for giving this feedback! I’m excited to share that this is cooking right now. For the new Search (you might have seen the group here on Hub) we will give project Admins the option to programatically configure project wide defaults. These defaults will include, as you request, the option to select which metadata columns to show by default, and the ordering of them. 

I’ll update you once this is available. 

 

Best, 

Sofie, Product Manager
