When reviewing intelligent information management solutions, securing the blessing of your executive leadership is about more than just finding the funds needed to execute the project in the first place. True digital transformation needs a culture willing to embrace it. Brad Nickle of Strickland Solutions and Kurt Meemken of Marco Technologies join us for a roundtable discussion on how to get executive buy-in for your information management project.

What is metadata? Metadata is what enables you to find Spotify songs and Netflix movies. It is just as useful in enterprise document management for tagging files and documents so that they can be found later. In this podcast, Treve Clayton of New Zealand based Docsmart helps give perspective on why metadata is just as important as the data itself.

For some, information management platforms like M-Files represent a paradigm shift. It's easy to get hung up on concepts like metadata, advanced workflows, custom permissions access and others. In this podcast, we ask M-Files' Senior VP Channel Sales, Scott Erickson a simple question: Which 3 benefits are the easiest to explain and understand? His answer might surprise you.

Property definitions are used for determining properties associated with classes. A property definition specifies the property name (which should naturally be as descriptive as possible) and the data type, which determines the type of the data entered (in relation to the property). A value list contains various values, such as city names. The same value list can be utilized in several different properties.

If you delete an object in M-Files it is not lost permanently, instead it becomes deleted and can still be found by performing a filtered search by a system administrator. The administrator has to have full control of the vault or the right to see and read all objects (including deleted ones).

Normally, views are created for personal use only. If you wish, you can define the view to be a common view visible to a desired user group. To define a common view, you need the document vault permission for managing the common document vault's common views.

We are excited to introduce the new M-Files Web experience - featuring a simplified UI and design that is sleek and intuitive.
