Defining Point-of-Capture Metadata
Point-of-capture metadata is the critical contextual information—like the creator's identity and the creation date—that must be permanently locked to a record the moment it enters your system.
Standardizing these initial attributes ensures that the record retains its authenticity and evidentiary value for its entire lifespan.
  1. Which specific metadata fields are currently mandatory when a new document is uploaded to your system?
  2. Can an employee bypass these fields, resulting in orphaned or unidentified records?
Action Item: Audit your upload screen and make the "Creator" and "Date" metadata fields strictly mandatory.
