l Filter levels: Rules for unselecting nodes at the Group, Document or Data page level. Note that currently
unselectednodesare ignored.
l Group: Select the metadata Group nodes (the nodes only) based on the specified rule(s).
l Document: Select the metadata Document nodes (the nodes only) based on the specified rule(s).
l Datapage: Select the metadata Datapage nodes (the nodes only) based on the specified rule(s).
l Rules: Define according to which criteria the action must to be performed. The condition must be TRUE to execute the
action. All nodes on a specific level with false condition become Unselected. The task effectively both selects and unse-
lects nodes based on the condition. To set up conditions, the Rule Interface is displayed, allowing to edit the condition
for the given action. See the"Rule Interface" (page 201) page for more details.
l Select all metadata nodes: Check to reset the Selection status of all nodes before performing the filtering, effec-
tively selecting all metadata nodes. This basically undoes the work of any previous Metadata Filter or Metadata
Sequencer, so please be careful when using this option.
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on "Task Properties Dialog" (page 54).
Special Considerations
l The task CANNOT re-select unselected nodes if the condition is false for those nodes.
l Filter rules cannot be based on the following metadata attributes: SelectedIndexInJob, SelectedIndexInGroup, Select-
edIndexInDocument and SelectedIndex.
Metadata Level Creation
Conditionally create new metadata groups or documents. This task is only functional if metadata already exists for the current
job.
The task enables users to merge data pages into Documents and/or merge Documents into Groups, based on conditions. Unse-
lected Data pages are ignored, but are moved with others Data pages if the action is applied to the current parent node.
Metadata Level Creation task properties are as follows:
General Tab
l Document: Create a new Document level. Note: Attributes and Fields are deleted for all new Document levels
created as well as existing Groups.
l Group: Create a new Group level. Note: Attributes and Fields are deleted for all new Group levels created.
l Delimiter defines if the Condition parameter is triggering the beginning or the end of a Group or Document. If
the delimiter option is set to None, the action is not performed.
l Rules enable the user to define on which criterions the action must to be performed. The condition must be
TRUE to execute the action. If the condition is not met at least once, the rule is not applied. To set up conditions,
the Rule Interface is displayed, allowing to edit the condition for the given action. See the"Rule Interface" (page
201) page for more details.
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on "Task Properties Dialog" (page 54).
Metadata Sequencer
Although the Metadata Sequencer acts as a splitter, the data file itself remains untouched, as neither the data nor the metadata
are actually being split through this task. With each sequence, the entire data file still gets carried from one task to another.
Metadata records are simply selected/unselected, which has the same effect.
