SOLVED: Metadata groups not visible

[OpaHeinz]

Hello

I created 4 metadata groups (pls see code)
I registered it
I uploaded a pdf document
I assigned one of the groups to the document and filled the properties
so far everything was fine

Problem:
In the metadata panel, I can not see the assignment

I removed all metadata assignments from the documents.
After that I rebuild the xml file and added an option field.
Then I rergister the metadata xml and assigned the metadata new.
After this everything was fine and the metadata structure was visible in the panel.

I think, the data are only visible in metadata panel if the metadata group has at minimum one check-box or one list-box field in it
<--
Hmm, I am not sure how I should think about this restriction. But I couldn't find a hint in the documentation regarding this situation.
But this would be fine if it would be documented.

Only select and checklist are available in the metadata tree view. The reason is that we can draw a limited tree ( checkbox -> 2 option, select what you decide, but you take control of it ). But what is not reasonable is to drawing a list of free text into the input, that might be unlimited values and that is the reason why uncontrolled fields will never be drawn there. Imagine a million of docs, each one with an input field with free text, now try to imagine to render these values as a node into the tree ... sounds bad no?

Ah ok, thank you for this information!
You are right and I understand.
One additional thing which I wrote was, that I could not find a hint regarding this situation.
I feel that this would be really helpful for newbies like me ( And it should be visible on the side where the meta-data creation is described and on the place where the meta-data panel is described.

Thank you very much

I'm not sure where to introduce this explanation:
https://docs.openkm.com/kcenter/view/ok ... guide.html
https://docs.openkm.com/kcenter/view/ok ... field.html
https://docs.openkm.com/kcenter/view/ok ... adata.html

Any ideas where to talk about it is welcome.

[OpaHeinz]

I would like to suggest, to do it here:
https://docs.openkm.com/kcenter/view/ok ... ields.html
You can mark the select and checkbox field with the hint, that this both field types will build the metadata tree view in frame meta-data

I did not found the page where following view is described. There would be also a good place to describe it, too.

I have updated the pages as you suggested.

Hi, May be it's late but I think it would be preferable to allow input fields with date format to be available in the metadata tree, date format inputs are limited and more structured then free text, they can be organize for example by year and month ..
Also it would be better if there is an option to select which field to see in the metadata tree (if more then one exist).
Thank you.

In the professional version, we have to rebuild totally this section and is not shown as a tree, is shown as a quick search, that helps to filter by text areas inputs and all the metadata field types. I think the idea of showing as a tree what 10 years ago we thought was a great idea, currently I'm not so sure ( useful, yes, but might be in terms of usability, not the best ).
