3 Metadata SharePoint Online Tips and Tricks

The following are 3 SharePoint Online tips and tricks related to metadata:

1. Use managed metadata to create a consistent taxonomy - Managed metadata is a way to create a consistent and controlled vocabulary for SharePoint Online sites. This can help to improve the findability of content and make it easier for users to locate the information they need.

Here are some of the benefits of using managed metadata:

  • Improved findability: Managed metadata can help to improve the findability of content by ensuring that all of the content is tagged with consistent and relevant terms.
  • Increased consistency: Managed metadata can help to increase the consistency of content by ensuring that all of the users are using the same terms to describe the same content.
  • Reduced duplication: Managed metadata can help to reduce duplication by ensuring that multiple terms for the same concept are not being created.

2. Use enterprise keywords to tag content - 

Enterprise keywords are a type of metadata that you one use to tag content with additional keywords that are not included in managed metadata terms. This can further improve the findability of content.

3. Use search refiners to filter your search results - Search refiners are a way to filter  search results by metadata. This can help narrow down search results and find the information one needs more quickly.
