Hello everyone,

I am trying to learn how I can create metadata template to tag documents on box for easy access. I am just starting out and currently trying to learn how to create templates. Any help is appreciated.

Start here:

From there, it’s really a matter of how you want to use that metadata--do you want it populated automatically using metadata extraction? Do you want it to drive workflows (Relay/Automate)? Do you want to create metadata-driven dashboards/interfaces (Box Apps)? Do you want it to drive information governance (retention, classification, etc)?
