Metadata Takes Center Stage
Without metadata, searching for documents is time-consuming and inefficient. By tagging documents with relevant metadata, you can automate tasks such as filing, routing, approvals, and retention schedules. This reduces manual work, speeds up business processes, and minimizes errors.
Revver is elevating document management by placing Advanced Metadata at the forefront of its platform. Formerly known as ‘Profiles’ and ‘Profile Items’, Metadata now empowers users to capture and store essential information about their documents, clients, and business processes more efficiently than ever before. This evolution not only brings a new name but also introduces a suite of powerful enhancements designed to help you unlock the full value of your data.
What is Metadata in Revver?
Metadata in Revver consists of customizable fields and groups that can be tailored to a wide range of use cases. Metadata fields can be applied to any folder or file, while groups help organize related fields, ensuring the right information is attached to the right documents. It transforms raw information into structured, searchable, and actionable assets—driving efficiency, compliance, collaboration, and informed decision-making across organizations. Its significance spans across data management, document handling, business operations, and regulatory compliance. Metadata is the foundation of effective data and file management.
How to Use Metadata
Revver offers multiple ways to capture Advanced Metadata, making it central to efficient document-related work. Key methods include:
- Manual Entry: Directly input data into fields.
- Doc Request or Form Fill Mapping: Automatically populate fields from submitted forms.
- API Integration: Seamlessly import data from external systems.
- Smart Extract Technology: Use AI to identify and extract values from documents automatically.
The data you store powers advanced searching, instant insights, workflow automation, and more—dramatically increasing your productivity.
What’s New in Metadata?
Revver’s Metadata overhaul introduces several exciting improvements:
- Advanced Metadata Library: Access ready-made Groups and Fields for various use cases, which can be added and customized as needed.
- Enhanced Field Creation: New capabilities for Text, Number, Date, Dropdown List, Address, and Link fields, including:

- Multiple Groups Per File/Folder: Apply more than one group to a file or folder for flexible organization.
How do Metadata and Smart Extract AI work together?
Once the metadata is extracted, its power extends beyond filing. Users can conduct highly targeted searches, save and share those searches, and combine filters to answer complex questions.
Reporting also becomes significantly more robust. With Revver Reports, users can build dashboards that track process bottlenecks, certification compliance, invoice volumes, and more, all based on the metadata Smart Extract AI identifies.
What Happens to Existing Profiles and Profile Items?
All existing Profiles and Profile Items remain fully operational and will now be referenced as Metadata Groups and Fields. They will also benefit from many of the new configuration and formatting options being introduced.
The Future of Metadata in Revver
Metadata is the backbone of effective document management. It turns digital chaos into order, enabling businesses to manage, secure, and leverage their information assets efficiently and strategically. These enhancements are just the beginning. With the integration of Smart Extract AI capabilities, it’s easier now than ever to capture and leverage critical data from your documents automatically.
Revver’s enhanced Metadata capabilities set the stage for a more data-rich, efficient, and automated document management experience. Now is the perfect time to take advantage of these improvements and future-proof your workflows.
