Feature overview
Metadata are structured labels attached to teams. This new capability lets you:
Define once in the template’s Custom Form.
Assign or change across hundreds of existing teams with Bulk.
Auto‑sync values directly from 3rd Party Apps such as Salesforce (and soon any nFlow connector).
Where metadata shine – three practical scenarios (revised)
Scenario | Typical user question | How to model the metadata |
Project Delivery | “Show me all Execution projects with a Large Budget.” | Budget Band (Small < 250 k, Medium 250 k–1 M, Large > 1 M) – captured once via Custom Form. |
Sales Deal Room | “Which EMEA Large Deals are at Proposal stage?” | Deal Size (Small Deal, Large Deal) – captured via Custom Form. |
Crisis Management Hub | “List P1 incidents for the Manufacturing unit.” | Severity (P1, P2, P3) & Business Unit (Manufacturing, Retail, Corporate …) – both set in Custom Form for the initial incident report. |
