Fill-in meta-data fields by separators in file name BIM360 Document management

Fill-in meta-data fields by separators in file name BIM360 Document management

Dear Autodesk,

 

To be able making BIM360 Document a real document management tool (besides office integration) you need to be able to read the file name and fill in meta-data (columns) by the file name. 

Just a random example, you have a file name structure like:
{code}_{discipline}_{company}_{group}_{filename}.extension

In Document management, you can now make the columns 'Code', 'discipline', etc. 

The thing we are missing is the ability to say when a file gets uploaded the first part (to the first _) needs to be in column x. 

So when you upload a file named: '20.00_construction_faky_contract_filename.pdf'. 
Then these columns should be filled in automatically. 

 

If you want an working example have a look at Dalux Box. 

Best regards, 
Josha van Reij

Dear Autodesk,

 

I full agree with Josha. It would be a great feature to have the possibility to read-out the document names and use it to input in the metadata. Is it possible to inform me about this possibilities? 

Is there a work-around available?

 

Thank you in advance.

Stijn
