MetaVis Technologies has added a bulk importing enhancement to its SharePoint product family (available for public beta trial on March 8th, 2009). The new plug-in for MetaVis Classifier simultaneously imports and tags files from local computers, networks or other storage into SharePoint and includes the following features and benefits: - Bulk Importing and Tagging/Classification - users can select multiple files/documents for importing into SharePoint and simultaneously assign field values to the entire import.
- Familiar User interface - utilizes a Windows Explorer-like interface with "Drag-and-Drop" functionality.
- Eliminate Problem with "Checked-Out" Files after Import - Unlike SharePoint's native import utility, MetaVis Bulk Import allows users to fill in required fields. All imported files are immediatelly available to users.
- Findable and Organized -since users populate key field values during import and do it on a mass scale, they are more likely to do the classification. The new import can be indexed immediately, resulting in a better organized repository and findable content.
From administrators struggling with too much content that was simply dumped into their SharePoint environment, to users working to categorize and locate their content, tagging and moving files in bulk has always been a challenge in SharePoint. MetaVis Classifier Bulk Import Plug-In is designed to ease that burden by providing users a simple interface copy large volumes of content from your local storage to different content types, lists/libraries, sites, site collections and even servers or clouds.
To assign metadata, SharePoint forces users to open each document individually. Classifier provides a simple way to tag many files that share common metadata values. This greatly accelerates and encourages the assignment of metadata, which makes content more "findable", compliant and usable.
