Many customers have asked if List Bulk Import supports importing the metadata column. I’m pleased to tell you that List Bulk Import has the capability. In this two-part series, I’ll guide you through the process. In Part 1, I’ll show you how to configure the metadata column. Part 2 will explain how to import the configured metadata using List Bulk Import.
First, configure the Metadata on the Central Administration page.
Step 1: Go to the Central Admin page, select Application Management, and click the Manage service applications hyperlink.
Step 2: Click on the Managed Metadata Service hyperlink; you will see a Metadata Service window.
Step 3: Click on Managed Metadata Service button and enter a user name or group name in the Term Store Administrators form.
Step 4: Expand the menu and select New Group.
Step 5: Expand the menu on Group after creating the select New Term Set.
Enter a name for Term Set. You can create many sets in the group.
Step 6: Click to expand the menu on Term Set then select Create Term.
Enter a name for Term data. You can create many sets in the Term Set group.
Next, go back to the SharePoint site and create a new list. You can use any list type. In this example, I select the Tasks list.
After creating the metadata column, you will see a dialog when clicked. All Terms data will show on this dialog.
I created a new Managed Metadata column and configure it.
