How to Create Custom Title and ND Metadata Fields in SharePoint

Follow these steps to create a custom Title and ND metadata fields for a SharePoint export.

1. Start a new SharePoint export as you normally would. During the export setup, create a new custom metadata field. You can create two or more Notes fields if required.

1. Run the export. When the export starts, the new custom field will be generated and saved in the output XML files alongside the standard metadata fields. After the export is complete, locate the db-analysis.json file in the \db subfolder of your selected destination folder. Right-click the file and open it in a text editor.
2. Update the custom field's weight. In db-analysis.json, locate the new custom field you created during the export setup. The field must be a String. Change its weight value to a very high number, such as 10000, and save the file.

1. Upload the export to SharePoint. Once the db-analysis.json file has been updated and saved, proceed with uploading the files and metadata to SharePoint using the normal procedure.

Once the data has been uploaded, your new custom metadata will be used for the Title and ND columns in SharePoint.
