# Update document metadata

Use this format to update the metadata/properties of documents without changing the version/modified information. The filename should contain updatefileproperties and format is xls(x)/csv.

The following columns can be defined:

  • ClientCode

  • MatterCode

  • Url

  • SourceFile

  • ... additional columns are mapped on document fields

Specify a clientcode/mattercode to fetch the document library url. In this case the SourceFile can contain a relative path from the root of the document library.

If no clientcode/mattercode is specified, the url column can contain a value for the site or documentlibrary url. In this case the SourceFile can contain a relative path from specified url.

For each unique combination of clientcode/mattercode/url a thread is started with a separate sharepoint connection. To speed up the process it's adviced to specify a mattercode or url.

The other columns that are specified are used to update the fields for the document specified in the SourceFile.

Due to technical reasons on Sharepoint On-Premise the version settings are temporarily disabled during updating the metadate, to prevent new versions of the document.
