We are at the moment setting up our metadata fields for users when they add a document on the EDMS.  We use FileNet P8.  If we set up the generic required fields and then create customized user templates - where the generic required fields are provided for + additional fields as required per department or sub-department - will there be any negative consequences with regards to record management aspects at a later stage.  At the moment the only thing that I can think of is that if it is not standardized, somebody not familiar with department might struggle to understand the information later on.    
 
Any comments in this regard will be appreciated.
