The Column mapping template<\/h2>\n

This feature enables to create column mapping templates in DocKIT to map folder \/ file metadata values to the SharePoint built-in or custom columns. You can\u00a0store \/ assign a source metadata value in number of columns in SharePoint.<\/p>\n

Built-in Metadata Extractor tool<\/h2>\n

Using this built-in Metadata Extractor tool, you can now mine out metadata from file summary properties and custom properties for various file formats (Microsoft Office documents, PDF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, HTML, TXT, MSG etc.). This feature will be useful to auto-generate folder structures, compile the file list and associated metadata and create a metadata file that can be directly fed to a DocKIT migration task.<\/p>\n

Auto-generate metadata file with file path and property values for the given source folder location which can either be mapped drives \/ network shares \/ hard drives<\/p>\n

Duplicate file handling options<\/h2>\n

If a file name already exists in SharePoint, then a new file version of the same file \/ document can be created by either appending or prepending an incremental index with the \u2018*\u2019 wild card character specification to the existing file name.<\/p>\n

Update existing columns in SharePoint libraries<\/h2>\n

We have included an exclusive migration task to update existing document properties in the SharePoint libraries by specifying the new field values in the metadata file.<\/p>\n

List export tool<\/h2>\n

Generate metadata file with the existing item\u2019s URL list in the destination location including the specified column values and store it as a .CSV file for reuse during an import task.<\/p>\n

6. Itemized folder traversal options<\/h2>\n

In explorer mode task option, the folder traversal specifications can be set independently for every folder \/ sub-folder entry (was a task level setting in the previous version) giving you increased flexibility during content migration.<\/p>\n

7. Computed column values<\/h2>\n

This option helps to generate calculated column values and assign these computed values to columns in SharePoint. These values can be computed based on metadata file columns, file properties and free text by choosing the required built-in functions. Use built-in functions to construct metadata values and assign them to SharePoint library \/ list columns of your choice.<\/p>\n

8. Favorite columns<\/h2>\n

The frequently used columns in SharePoint and metadata file can be saved as \u2018favorite column\u2019 to facilitate reuse.<\/p>\n
