Sharegate 2.3 – Improved property template for copying documents

Tuesday, July 05, 2011 - Sébastien Leduc

We are proud to release Sharegate 2.3 with amazing improvements with the property template feature.


WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE?


Property template for multiple content types

It’s now possible to specify the properties for multiple content types in a single property template. This way, you can move items or documents referring to many content types in the same copy operation.

Property template for copying files or items of multiple content types

In the previous version, you had to create a property template for every content type. It was painful if you had to migrate a SharePoint library or list configured with many content types.


Replace illegal characters when migrating files to SharePoint

For those who are migrating files to SharePoint, you no longer have to worry about the illegal characters in SharePoint that cause errors during the migration. In the options, you can specify a replacement for every illegal character.

Check In comment

Users are now prompt to enter a check in comment when they are saving items or documents to SharePoint.

Keep or specify folder metadata

We now fully support folder metadata. This feature allows you to move folders between SharePoint sites without losing the metadata.

Import or export property template

Property template allows you to pre-define and reuse metadata values apply to items or files during a copy. It’s now possible to share a property template with your colleagues. You can import or export multiple templates at the same time.

Display SharePoint view


You can now filter the files or items with the views available in SharePoint. It gives you more flexibility over the files or items displayed in the explorer.

Property mappings persistence

In the previous version, we added a feature to change the property mappings allowing users to map source/destination properties with different name. The property mappings are now persisted, so you don’t need to configure the mappings every time you copy content between the same lists or libraries.

File or item properties window

We received feedback from users with low screen resolution having difficulties to see the properties from the Sharegate explorer when they select a file or item. It’s now possible to open a window displaying all the properties.
