Files Packages Upgrade

Files Packages Upgrade

Our team has noticed some gaps in the Files Packages tool. This tool has the potential to be extremely useful, but the current limitations make it difficult to implement. Our suggestion are:

1. Enable all file metadata and custom attributes to be edited just like they are in the Files-Folder view. 

2. Every feature that is available in Files-Folder under the three dots menu should be available in Files-Packages (especially the move, copy, rename functions)

3. All data for Packages should be exportable from the root view of the of the Files-Packages window, and this export should also include a list of files with their versions that is hyperlinked. 

4. Custom fields should be added for Packages that can be edited in the Package itself or the root view. 

5. you should be able to create a reference for package, or multiple packages (through multi select and a bulk action) in the root view. References should be to every item in the software, including Meeting Items. 

6. There should be some way to view packages from desktop connecter, either in the data connector or some other user-friendly window. Whatever the menu or tool looks like it should allow for editing in the native desktop app of the file.

This would be very helpful and improve the functionality of the package tool as part of our workflow.
