Add custom metadata to a project to track, organise, and attribute usage.
What is Project Metadata?
From within the project settings, the admins and owners of a project can set custom key-value metadata pairs. These can include Strings, Numbers, and Boolean values. The same metadata keys and value-types are automatically shared across all projects in an organisation to help enforce consistency.
When to use Project Metadata?
Project metadata is a helpful way to track your Podaris projects in a way that coincides with your organisation's own internal processes. As a consultancy, you may work with "project codes" or "work orders" that relate to client projects and billing. Through setting up these values as project metadata, you can tie back any usage-based activity to your internal identifiers - making attribution and billing easier.
How to configure Project Metadata?
If you are a project owner or admin, you can manage the metadata for a project.
- Navigate to the project settings
- Select the Metadata tab from the menu
Here you can select a metadata key by clicking on the dropdown. Choose an existing organisation metadata key, or if your organisation allows, start typing to define a new metadata key.
Enter new values in the values input, and then click save.
Controlling Project Metadata at an organisation-level
All metadata keys are saved at an organisation-level. This helps ensure consistent reuse throughout your projects.
As an organisation owner, you can see and manage metadata from the organisation settings:
Clicking "+ Add" allows you to define a new type of metadata.
Clicking the settings button next to an existing metadata type will let you update its properties.
Clicking the "delete" button will delete the metadata type and delete it from all projects. This cannot be undone.
Allow members to create new metadata
As an organisation owner, you can either define metadata types explicitly for all of your users or optionally allow them to create new metadata when they are updating their projects.
