Auto Tagging

Auto Tagging is a module that automates the tedious and often extensive work involved in putting metadata in a database. The module can be adapted to any company's workflow and file structure, with the sole requirement that the file structure has a predetermined and logical structure.

For example, the folder structure could be organized on the server in a pattern like this
<PRODUCTS> / <PRODUCTION YEAR> / <TYPE> / <SUB TYPE>
e.g. something along the lines of
Products/2009/MENS_WEAR/CASUAL

You can then manually - and mind you, once and for all - assign each folder its appropriate metadata, and henceforth any file placed in a folder on the server will automatically "inherit" the folder's metadata.

Alternatively, the module can retrieve metadata directly from folder name, in which different parts of the name represent various metadata.

If you have a fixed code, such as <shop type> <country> <shop number> <shop name>, the metadata will be applied to those fields according to a predefined key.
For example, the folder name "7238-Prod" would, given the right key, be interpreted as follows: the first character represents the metadata field "store type" and the character "7" represents the value "Starbucks", which therefore is stored in the "store type" in the database. "2" could mean "Denmark", which is stored in the "Country" field - and so on.
