Update Metadata

asked on February 7, 2017

Hello!

I am very new to Laserfiche so any feedback is appreciated.

We have a folder of terminated employees that has the SSN stored in the metadata. These same employees are in another folder, but the SSN is not identified. What is the best way to mass update the metadata for the SSN? 


Thanks!

Hi, Tiffany! Welcome to Laserfiche!

Workflow is probably the easiest answer. How do you match the employee folders? Just by name? Any chance of name conflicts?

Thanks for the response. As of now, all I have to match is name. There could be potential name conflicts that I would have to resolved manually.

Then it should be a fairly easy job for Workflow. You could go through the documents in the first folder and for each one, search for the ones matching the name in the second folder. Then copy field values from the first to the second document. Depending on how your duplicate names are set up, you could also check if the search returned more than one hit and flag the original for manual processing.

Thanks again. This is the first workfow I have created. Can you tell me if it looks correct?
