New
- Workflow Updates
- The workflow “Enrich content automatically” has been renamed to “Create iiRDS package” to better reflect the output format.
- New workflow: “Enrich content with metadata” – replaces the previous default workflow and enables neutral metadata enrichment without an export step. Results can be exported as CSV or transferred via interfaces (e.g., SharePoint).
- New SharePoint Integration
- Content can now be directly imported from SharePoint into plusmeta and enriched with metadata.
- It is possible to return only the metadata or additionally generate exports in iiRDS, VDI 2770, or other formats.
- Import is performed by providing a SharePoint folder link – plusmeta will retrieve the files automatically.
- Enhancements in OCR and Conversion Services
- Optimizations for MSG-to-PDF conversion: Emails in MSG format can now be converted into PDF and processed directly in plusmeta.
- PDF/A conversion: Status indicators with time estimates have been added.
- Organization-level settings now allow default activation of OCR preprocessing for documents without digital text (e.g., scanned documents).
- Automatic rotation for OCR:
- Improves results with heterogeneous documents where some pages are rotated. Detected rotation is automatically corrected before text recognition.
- Can be enabled manually per file or configured as the default behavior.
- VDI 2770 – Extended Validation
- New view and task for thorough VDI 2770 compliance validation.
- Validations can be triggered manually or automatically before package generation.
- Users receive specific feedback on validation errors and can directly access the affected documents.
- Optionally, users may choose to create non-compliant packages regardless of validation results.
- iiRDS Package Generation – Improved Performance
- Multilingual content can now be organized into separate directories/packages per language. This enables language-grouped display in Empolis Service Express.
- Generation has been moved to a dedicated service, enabling faster and parallel background processing of large iiRDS packages.
- HTML Creation Task
- HTML files can now be generated from generic metadata using templates and further processed within plusmeta.
- Compile Documentation (Supplier Documents)
- A new checklist logic allows customized documentation compilation.
- Checklist values can be imported from Excel, multiplied, and automatically filled using data from the plusmeta database.
- Export options for assembled content have been expanded.
- Extractors: Scope Restrictions and Preview
- Extractors and rule-based assignments can now be scoped to reference specific metadata – regardless of role.
- The AI explanation preview now respects the defined scope and displays all sources relevant to detection (in addition to the text content, e.g. also title metadata, metadata with the role “Source for metadata extraction” or explicit metadata from the scope).
- ZIP Upload – Advanced Control and Optimization
- New user interface for server-side extraction of ZIP archives.
- Configurable object types to be extracted from ZIPs.
- New Feature: “Adopt as Guidelines
- In the “Review and Assign Metadata” workflow step, metadata from an object can be adopted as project-level metadata guidelines.
- Project settings now include the option to clear all project guidelines.
- API Integration with Quanos CDS
- Content including AI-generated metadata can now be transferred automatically from plusmeta to Quanos CDS via API.
