Updating Attributes

The administrator of your ECM can set up folders on a drive, that require certain metadata attributes. When a file is saved to such a folder, dragged and dropped into it, or copied and pasted into it, an orange icon overlay with an exclamation point will appear on it. This icon overlay indicates attributes are required for the file.

1. Right-click on the file to pop up the context menu
