I've just installed Mayan EDMS 0.13 (using the VirtualBox .ova file), and 
have been playing around with it a bit.

I'm wondering whether I can enforce a particular structure for metadata 
when it's entered. For example, one important piece of metadata is the date 
a document was received (note that this is almost certainly different to 
the date it is uploaded). At some point I will probably want to filter my 
documents based on this information (I don't know if that's possible with 
Mayan, but I'm hoping so).

But it's possible I could enter "2014-01-01" for one document, and then a 
few weeks later forget what format I used last time and enter "2/1/2014" 
for another, and so on. This seems like the sort of mistake that structured 
metadata is good at preventing. Another example might be currency metadata 
("$40" vs "10.15" vs "50c").

Is this something I can do easily with Mayan?
