Pre-Upload Metadata Implementation - Summary
What Was Implemented
The naming tool has been updated to support pre-upload metadata editing according to your flowchart requirements. Users can now prepare and edit metadata BEFORE uploading files, replacing the previous post-upload editing workflow.
Changes Made
1. Database ✅
New Table: override_metadata
- Stores pre-upload metadata overrides linked by filename
- Tracks creation/update timestamps and user IDs
- Marks when overrides are applied during upload
Location: /migrations/001_create_override_metadata_table.sql
Status: SQL file created - NEEDS TO BE RUN (see instructions below)
2. Backend API ✅
4 New Endpoints Added to /public-v2/api.php:
-
lookup-metadata-by-filename- Load metadata for pre-upload editing- Checks if file exists in database
- For existing assets: retrieves metadata from master_assets
- For new assets with tracking ID: pulls metadata from tracking ID
- For new assets without tracking ID: parses filename
-
save-override-metadata- Save pre-upload metadata overrides- Creates/updates override_metadata record
- Captures user ID from session
- Logs lifecycle event
-
get-override-for-upload- For external upload system to query overrides- Returns override metadata if exists
- Used during actual file upload
-
mark-override-applied- Mark override as used after upload- Sets applied_to_upload = TRUE
- Logs lifecycle event
Modified: simulate-upload endpoint now checks for override metadata
3. Database Layer ✅
4 New Methods Added to /public-v2/Database.php:
getOverrideMetadata($filename)- Retrieve override for filenamesaveOverrideMetadata($filename, $trackingId, $overrideFields, $userId)- Save/update overridemarkOverrideApplied($filename)- Mark override as appliedgetOverrideHistory($limit, $offset)- Get paginated list of overrides
4. Frontend UI ✅
Updated /public-v2/index.php - Metadata Editor Tab:
- Updated title: "Pre-Upload Metadata Editor"
- Clear warning: "⚠️ PRE-UPLOAD ONLY"
- Updated input labels and help text
- Added metadata source status banner
- Added override status field
- Simplified save button: "💾 Save Pre-Upload Metadata"
- Added helpful messaging
5. Frontend JavaScript ✅
Updated /public-v2/js/app.js:
loadMetadataForEdit()- Now calls new API endpoint, supports both filename and tracking ID inputsaveMetadataChanges()- Simplified to always save to override_metadatacollectChangedMVPFields()- New helper to collect MVP field valuesupdateMetadataSourceBanner()- New function to show metadata sourceupdateSummaryCard()- New function to display asset infopopulateMetadataFormFromLookup()- New function to populate form from lookup response
6. Documentation ✅
Created 3 Documentation Files:
IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md(this file) - Overview of changesPREUPLOAD_METADATA_INTEGRATION.md- Detailed integration guide for external upload systemmigrations/README.md- Instructions for running database migrations
Next Steps
1. Run Database Migration ⚠️ REQUIRED
You need to create the override_metadata table in your database.
Option A: Using PHP CLI
cd /Users/nickviljoen/Desktop/Ferrero/ferreo-naming-tool/migrations
php run_migration.php 001_create_override_metadata_table.sql
Option B: Using psql
psql -h localhost -p 5433 -U ferrero_user -d ferrero_tracking \
-f /Users/nickviljoen/Desktop/Ferrero/ferreo-naming-tool/migrations/001_create_override_metadata_table.sql
Option C: Using Database Client (pgAdmin, DBeaver, etc.)
- Open
/migrations/001_create_override_metadata_table.sql - Connect to your
ferrero_trackingdatabase - Execute the SQL statements
Verify Migration:
SELECT * FROM override_metadata LIMIT 1;
2. Test the Metadata Editor
- Open your naming tool in a browser
- Click on the "Meta Data Editor" tab
- Enter a test filename:
TEST_NUT_TestAsset_VID_15S_16x9_FR_FR_abc123P - Click "Prepare Metadata"
- Review the auto-generated metadata
- Edit some fields (e.g., Agency Name, Validity Start)
- Click "💾 Save Pre-Upload Metadata"
- You should see: "✓ Pre-upload metadata saved successfully!"
Verify in Database:
SELECT * FROM override_metadata WHERE filename LIKE 'TEST_%';
3. Integrate with External Upload System ⚠️ REQUIRED
The external upload system needs to be updated to:
- Query for override metadata before uploading
- Apply override metadata if it exists
- Mark override as applied after successful upload
See detailed instructions in: PREUPLOAD_METADATA_INTEGRATION.md
Contact your upload system team and share this documentation.
Workflow Comparison
Before (Post-Upload Editing):
1. Upload file to DAM
2. Extract tracking ID from filename
3. Apply master metadata
4. User edits metadata in tool
5. Update master_assets table
After (Pre-Upload Editing):
1. User enters filename in Metadata Editor
2. System loads/generates metadata
3. User edits metadata
4. User saves override to override_metadata table
5. User uploads file
6. Upload system checks for override
7. Upload system applies override metadata
8. Override marked as applied
Reporting Tab (March 2026)
What Was Added
A new Reporting tab has been added (between Metadata Editor and Help) to provide master asset utilisation insights and exportable reports for presentation decks.
Summary Dashboard
5 KPI cards displayed at the top of the tab:
- Total Master Assets — count of all active master assets
- Total Derivatives — count of all derivative assets
- Avg Derivatives / Master — average number of derivatives per master
- Created (Last 30 Days) — master assets created in the last 30 days
- Most Active Brand — brand with the highest derivative count
Master Asset Utilisation Report
A searchable, filterable table showing each master asset with:
- Tracking ID, Filename, Brand, Country, Asset Type, Subject Title
- Derivative Count — how many derivative versions exist
- Event Count — total lifecycle events (lookups, metadata updates, etc.)
- Last Activity — most recent lifecycle event date
- Created Date — when the master was first registered
- CX Score — Creative X quality score (if available)
Filters: Brand, Country, Asset Type, Date Range (From/To), Search (filename, subject, tracking ID)
Sorting: Click column headers to sort ascending/descending (Tracking ID, Filename, Brand, Derivatives, Events, Last Activity, Created)
Export: "Download CSV" button exports all current filtered results as Master_Utilisation_Report_YYYY-MM-DD.csv
New API Endpoints
reporting-summary(GET) — returns dashboard summary statisticsreporting-master-utilisation(POST) — returns filtered utilisation report data
New Database Methods
getReportingSummary()— aggregates dashboard KPI datagetMasterUtilisationReport($filters)— joins master_assets, derivative_assets, asset_lifecycle_events, and creativex_scores with dynamic filtering and sorting
Files Modified
/public-v2/Database.php— 2 new methods/public-v2/api.php— 2 new endpoints/public-v2/index.php— new tab button + tab pane HTML, updated Help documentation/public-v2/js/app.js— reporting initialisation, search, render, sort, CSV export/public-v2/css/style.css— summary card and sort header styles
No Database Migration Required
The Reporting tab uses existing tables only (master_assets, derivative_assets, asset_lifecycle_events, creativex_scores). No new tables or schema changes needed.
Breaking Changes ⚠️
Post-upload metadata editing has been REMOVED.
- The old workflow of editing master assets after upload is no longer supported
- The
update-master-metadataendpoint still exists but should be deprecated - Users must adapt to editing metadata BEFORE upload

Support & Troubleshooting
Issue: Table does not exist
Solution: Run the database migration (see Step 1 above)
Issue: API returns 500 error
Solution: Check PHP error logs and database connection
Issue: Override not found during upload
Solution:
- Check filename matches exactly (without extension)
- Verify
applied_to_upload = FALSEin database - Check API endpoint is accessible from upload system
Issue: Session user ID not captured
Solution: Ensure your application has active session management with user_id or username in session
