Dockit Metadata Manager

The importance of metadata in SharePoint cannot be stressed enough, particularly since it is the key to managing your data efficiently and have the information work in your favor. To put it simply, thanks to it you can tag documents, pages and items with specific keywords and hence, grab them accurately and timely whenever necessary.

Dockit Metadata Manager is a tool designed to make metadata management more convenient, as you can compare, analyze, make an inventory and track any changes made by users who have access to your server.

In case you are just getting started with SharePoint and are just creating the lists, then it is very possible that you left the values as default. While, initially, this does not constitute a problem, in the long run, you may identify quite a few problems. Thanks to the app you can review and update the list settings in bulk to correct most of these issues.

The program enables you to discover the metadata across the elements and perform an inventory of the data without too much effort. Moreover, you can analyze your new inventory and identify – and perhaps address – problematic areas using different sets of criteria.

If you ever tried to update a full list manually before, then you probably know just how cumbersome this task can be. In the eventuality that you are thinking of updating a value in a list item that you want to be applied for all items included, then the app comes with this feature that is essentially missing from SharePoint.

Moreover, in case you want to manipulate the data using other data, such as Excel for instance, then you can export the modified metadata into the new document effortlessly.

If you are looking for a tool that can help you compare, analyze, edit and update the metadata across the server without too much hassle, then perhaps Dockit Metadata Manager might be worth a try.
