Framework for applying metadata for multiple files managed using a content management system
First Claim
1. A method for applying metadata to multiple files managed by a content management system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a user computer system, an indication of a plurality of files for uploading from the user computer system to the content management system and an indication of a location managed by the content management system where the plurality of files is to be stored;
receiving, by the user computer system, an indication of a metadata field required for each file of the plurality of files, wherein the metadata field is required based on the location where the plurality of files is to be stored;
providing, by the user computer system, an interface that requests a value for the metadata field for a first file of the plurality of files to be uploaded to the content management system, wherein;
the interface provides an apply-to-all option for the value of the metadata field to be applied to each file of the plurality of files; and
providing, by the user computer system, the value of the metadata field for each file of the plurality of files to the content management system, wherein;
the user computer system provides the value in response to a separate metadata request received from the content management system for each file of the plurality of files; and
the content management system is distinct from the user computer system.

Abstract
Various arrangements for applying metadata to multiple files managed by a content management system are presented. A user computer system may receive an indication of a plurality of files for uploading from the user computer system for storage and management to the content management system. The plurality of files may be stored in a location managed by the content management system. A metadata field may be required for each file of the plurality of files. The user computer system may provide an interface that requests a value of the metadata field. The interface may provide an apply-to-all option for the value of the metadata field to be applied to each file of the plurality of files. The user computer system may apply the value of the metadata field to each file of the plurality of files for uploading for storage and management to the content management system.

9. A computer program product residing on a non-transitory processor-readable medium for applying metadata to multiple files managed by a content management system, the computer program product comprising processor-readable instructions configured to cause a processor to:
-
receive an indication of a plurality of files for uploading to the content management system and an indication of a location managed by the content management system where the plurality of files is to be stored; receive an indication of a metadata field required for files to be stored in the location, wherein the metadata field is required based on the location where the plurality of files is to be stored; provide an interface that requests a value of the metadata field for a first file of the plurality of files to be uploaded to the content management system, wherein; the interface provides an apply-to-all option for the value of the metadata field to be applied to each file of the plurality of files; and provide the value of the metadata field for each file of the plurality of files to the content management system, wherein; the value is provided in response to a separate metadata request received from the content management system for each file of the plurality of files; and the content management system is distinct from a user computer system comprising the processor. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A system for applying metadata to multiple files, the system comprising:
-
a user computer system; and a content management system communicatively coupled with the user computer system;
wherein;the user computer system is configured to execute processor-readable instructions configured to cause a processor of the user computer system to; receive an indication of a plurality of files for uploading from the user computer system for storage and management to the content management system and an indication of a location managed by the content management system where the plurality of files is to be stored; receive an indication of a metadata field required for each file of the plurality of files from the content management system, wherein the metadata field is required based on the location where the plurality of files is to be stored; provide an interface that requests a value of the metadata field for a first file of the plurality of files to be uploaded for storage and management to the content management system, wherein; the interface provides an apply-to-all option for the value of the metadata field to be applied to each file of the plurality of files; and provide the value of the metadata field for each file of the plurality of files to the content management system, wherein; the user computer system provides the value in response to a separate metadata request received from the content management system for each file of the plurality of files; and the content management system is distinct from the user computer system. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
