Feature Release: Metadata improvements and visual updates

Jan 2023

Version 2022.4

The latest software update from DF Studio is now being deployed to all accounts. This version includes metadata improvements, along with visual updates, workflow enhancements, and resolutions to minor performance issues. As always, please reach out to DF Studio’s support team with any feedback or questions about this update.

Enhancements

Metadata
  • Metadata imports from CSV can now match assets based on the DFS ID instead of the asset name.
  • In cases where metadata fields are written to files, the publication of real-time messaging for metadata change events is not triggered until after the files have been updated.
Asset Storage
  • The account Storage report has been moved to an overlay, in order to reduce the interruption in workflows when consulting this resource.
  • The Storage report now provides an asset count as well as a measurement of the total storage used.
File Management & Organization
  • Visuals have been refreshed throughout, bringing greater clarity and consistency.
Security & Protection
  • User accounts will now require verification any time the e-mail address is changed.
