Metadata Administration

Laserfiche documents can store a wide variety of information. Imaged documents can store images, text, and annotations. Electronic documents can store those items as well as an electronic file. In addition, you can assign additional information, called metadata, to any document. The following types of metadata can be assigned to a document.

Note: Field and template information and tags can be assigned to both documents and folders.

Before most types of metadata can be assigned to a document, you need to prepare the repository, which involves defining fields, templates, tags, and document relationships. Once they have been defined, they will be available for use from the Laserfiche web or Windows client.
