Exporting metadata attributes

You may store and export the metadata attributes of documents, notes, contacts, tasks and flow folders contained in a folder in form of a comma-separated .csv file. Subfolders will also be searched recursively. Apart from the metadata, access path and BSCW object id will be stored for each object in the file.

•      Choose  File    Send to    Metadata  in the top menu of the folder.

•      The action form ‘Export Metadata’ lets you select the attributes to export: check a com­plete metadata profiles or unfold a profile and select single attributes for export. With user-defined metadata profiles, only the new attributes are offered for export.

•      You may further choose to directly download the metadata file or have it stored in your clipboard or the folder itself.

This way, you may process metadata, e.g., with a spreadsheet program. You may invoke the action also via   Send to    Metadata  in the action menu of a folder.
