Apply a metadata template to a folder

  • This feature is available after applying for the Standard Plus plan of NAVER WORKS Core or Standard Plus plan of WORKS Drive.
  • This feature can only be used by members with Folder Master permissions.
  • It is only available when 'Apply Template' is turned on by the administrator in Admin.

When you apply a metadata template to a folder, the same metadata template is automatically applied to all files within the folder.

This is convenient for unifying metadata formats across departments or projects.

  • You can apply up to 10 metadata templates to one folder.
  • The metadata template function can only be applied once per folder path, so if applied to a parent folder, it cannot be applied a second time to a subfolder.

  • Only metadata template formats added by the administrator are applied, and metadata values are not automatically entered.
  • While in effect, some operations on folders and files may be temporarily restricted.
  • It cannot be applied to My Drive, message room folders, or root folders on public drives.
