This setting removes the click needed to expand revision blocks in the Activity tab of the data card.

Use Part Number as Item Name by Default

This setting will have the checkbox below selected by default when creating a new item.

Show Non-Bild Managed Metadata

Metadata that was read in on initial upload but is not mapped to a field within Bild will appear in the data card when this setting is enabled.

File Sharing for Public/Suppliers

When creating a public link or sharing a file with a supplier, users will be able to manually select/unselect the checkboxes for the allowed downloadable file formats (native and/or universal). This setting allows you to choose the default selections for users.

Displayed Configuration

This setting allows you to update the displayed configuration for every file across all of your workspaces.
