RELATED IDEAS

Allow custom metadata tags rather than forcing predefined tags like "business reference"

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Our viewers come from many teams and may want to search documents by different important tags. Such as 'SHID', 'MBOL', 'LoadNumber', 'OrderNumber', 'InvoiceNumber', etc.  Today Inflight only allows "Business Ref", and ExtraInfo 1-3 for data like that. However its not useful if our users doesn't know which field is their field. Someone searching for an invoice relvant to order 123 will likely still use "Business Ref" even though that is most likely the invoice number.

 

Allowing us to custom set tags, means we can apply metadata to any document type for any relevant data. For example I can set the "OrderNumber" for a Invoice. For consolidated invoices I could create multiple metadata records to set multiple order number. Likewise I could set what ShipmentID a given invoice was sent on, helping us with reconciliation in certain cases, and so on.

    Hello,


    We are using the 1.0, but as we transition to 2.0 this is a feature we'd like to see. Our account rep has informed us this feature does not exist in InFlight 2.0 today.


    Thanks,
