MetaShare roadmap

MetaShare is a software as a service (SaaS) solution that is continuously updated with new features and improvements. On average we release 6 updates per year.

For a list of the all the previously released MetaShare updates, see MetaShare’s release notes.

Upcoming improvements for MetaShare

• Improvements to the search for documents and workspaces tabs on MetaShare’s start page including: hiding irrelevant columns, sorting search filter values in alphabetical order and adding search suggestions beneath the search box.
• Customizable search tabs on the start page.
• Task overhaul including aggregated view on MetaShare’s start page.

Upcoming improvements for MetaShare Orbit

• When you create archiving or deletion rules you will soon be able to switch between simple term-based conditions (the current rules) and advanced query conditions (that allow you to write advanced queries using Keyword Query Language (KQL).
• You will soon be able to test your new rules before activating them, by clicking on a “Test rule” button. It will then launch a window displaying the number of documents that match the rule, in which sites they reside in as well as a table with a list of all the documents that match the rule. From this window you will also be able to export the result-list to a csv-file that has more information about the documents, making it possible for you to analyze the results more thoroughly before deciding to publish the rule.
• MetaShare Orbit’s “Rules” page will soon have filters, the same way as are available in the “Document log” page. The filters that will be shown are: Action (Delete and Move) and State (Draft, Published and Inactive). When opening the page, it will prefilter on Published rules (not showing drafts and inactivated rules).
• MetaShare Orbit now only supports the archival of documents of a content type that’s managed/published by SharePoint’s content type hub. Soon the app will also support archival of documents that are tagged with local columns, which will automatically be created by MetaShare Orbit in the destination libraries.
• Some other minor improvements such as restricting users to publish a rule if any of the terms used in the term based conditions have been deleted or if the archive rule’s destination library has been deleted.
