Improved performance when editing a document’s properties:
The time to load a document’s property form has been improved, as we no longer retrieve all term-values for each and one of a document’s managed metadata columns. We restrict the retrieved number of terms to 30 terms per managed metadata column.
How does this affect your users? If a managed metadata column has less than 50 values, if you click on the field, its metadata values are shown in a drop-down and you can scroll through the list of values: If you start typing only the values that contain the typed phrase will be shown in the drop-down: If a managed metadata column has 50 values or more, the drop-down is not shown when you click on the field. If you however start typing the values that start with the typed phrase will be shown in the drop-down:
Filter on any managed metadata column:
It is now possible to filter on a managed metadata column without having it shown as a document filter in a workspace. This is applicable for metadata fields with many terms, e.g. Company or Keyword, that might have more than 100 terms. Displaying all these terms as a document filter would maybe not make much sense, as you would need to scroll through a long list of terms. This also improves performance, as all the terms do not need to be loaded into memory while loading the workspace. Below you see an example where the documents in a workspace have been filtered on two metadata values (Document type = Agreement and Keyword = Azure Information Protection). The Keyword metadata is not available as a filter but by clicking on any of the documents’ clickable links, the user can filter on this value. Within soon we will also give the users the possibility to filter on any people column as well as any date column.
Drag and drop e-mails and/or their attachments to MetaShare:
You can upload e-mails from Outlook to a MetaShare workspace, using the drag and drop method, when using Google Chrome as a browser. Previously it was just possible when using Microsoft Edge. You get an indication that the mail will be added to the workspace: There is a however a difference in behavior between the browsers, something that we cannot control from MetaShare:
Microsoft Edge: the e-mails are copied to the workspace (the e-mail will still be available in Outlook).
Google Chrome: the e-mails are actually moved to the workspace (the e-mail will be moved to Outlook’s “Deleted items” folder).
