Dear All, After a few discussion on various aspects related to metadata and their usability, allow me to summarize, and possibly draw up a wish list:
(1) Dates and times are commonly used as metadata, and can be used for indexing and even scripting at a later stage. However, there is no standard entry format. Hence, proper data and time entry fields wouid be highly desirable, ideally for date only, time only, and date with time. (2) It would be nice, if the current user could be selected as default for instances, where a user has to be selected. Guess i am just missing something there. (3) Maybe all the usable variables could be made available via a pick list, and then spiced up with defaults or widget selections (dropdown, fixed default, etc.) (4) Number (3) and operators could then be used for easy evaluation. For instance, warranty certificates could be expired after a set period of time (entered as metadata) (5) Actions could even be added, like move expired warranty certificates into a different folder. (6) Alternatively, possibly as an initial crutch, there could be a field that accepts python code, though this will reduce usability for unsuspecting users, if this remains the only choice of function entry. Any thoughts? Thanks a lot! Chris -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mayan EDMS" group.
