Urgent to group and show the folder metadata base on profile in UCM

Question

Hi All,
My requirement is I have to group and show the folder metadata for folder creation, updating and information based on profile.
Suppose If I want to create, update and information a HR folder that time I have to show only HR metadata
If I want to create, update and information a FINANCE folder that time I have to show only FINANCE metadata
If I want to create, update and information a standard folder that time I have to show only standard metadata
Example
Someone accessing a ‘standard’ folder would not see the HR group of metadata fields; instead they should just see the ‘standard’ profile metadata fields for said folder. Conversely, when someone is accessing a ‘HR’ folder, they should see the ‘HR document’ metadata profile for that folder.
Please help me is there any way which can I approach this by through configuration.
Thanks in advace
Kishore.

Answer 1

I checked the standard behaviour. When I create few profiles I am able to choose the profile I want while creating a new folder (there is an option Switch Profile).
Therefore, the only thing that remains is auto-select the profile you want to use. Note that profiles by default are selected by the Trigger Field (configured in Configuration Manager). This means you need to combine requirements you have for your folders and for your content items. This can be quite challenging. However, you can also 'Use rule activation condition', which is assigned to rules contained in the profile. There, you can work with any metadata and other system variables (like checkin vs. search defined in dpAction - see this link for further details: Value of dpAction
In your case, you could use folder name, or create a surrogate metadata field containing list of values and use it.
