Metadata gives structure to your file library. Instead of relying on complex folder systems or inconsistent naming conventions, you can attach clear, searchable information to each file — like project name, campaign, client, region, or license expiration date. With Kontainer’s flexible system of custom metadata fields, teams can enrich files with exactly the information they need to work smarter and faster.
The larger your file library becomes, the harder it is to keep track of versions, usage rights, and project assets. Metadata helps you:
In short: metadata transforms file chaos into clarity.
Kontainer allows organizations to define their own metadata fields to match their workflow. Whether you want to tag by product line, customer, campaign phase, or approval status, your asset library becomes searchable and filterable in ways that mirror your business.
This flexibility means your system adapts as your business grows and changes — not the other way around.

Metadata management is the process of organizing and tagging files with structured information such as campaign name, client, usage rights, or approval status. This makes files easier to find, filter, and govern within a digital asset management (DAM) system like Kontainer.
Instead of relying on file names or folders, metadata lets you filter and search by relevant criteria — for example, “All images for Campaign X in Region Y with approved status.” This saves time and reduces the risk of using the wrong file.
Yes. Kontainer allows you to define custom metadata fields that match your organization’s workflows. You decide what information is important — whether it’s project phases, client names, regions, or license expiration dates.
By standardizing how assets are tagged, metadata ensures that teams and partners speak the same “language.” Everyone works from the same source of truth, avoiding confusion, duplication, and inconsistent file use.
Start with a simple, clear taxonomy. Use dropdowns or predefined lists for consistency. Limit editing permissions for sensitive data. Automate workflows (like approvals or rights tracking) based on metadata fields. And review your metadata regularly to keep it relevant.
