l Metadata Filename: Enter a static or variable name for the metadata file to load. Not active when the delete action
is chosen.
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on Task Properties Dialog.
If storing the message or ID, if they are store in a jobinfo they will be available in any error handling process where errors are
being forwarded. In all cases, if your process continues after the error, the contents of the variables selected in this window
will be available for the rest of your process, or whenever they are overwritten.
Metadata Filter
The task allows specifying the Level (Group, Document and Datapage) on which to perform the action and under which con-
dition. At least one level must have the condition set. The action will be performed sequentially beginning with the rule on the
Group level, Document level and Data page level. The selection is performed on the node only.
Input
Any data file with accompanying metadata.
Processing
Any metadata that does not correspond to the rules set forth by the filter are removed from the active metadata. Note that the
metadata is still "present", but is disabled and ignored on all tasks that uses metadata afterwards.
Output
The original data file is output, along with the modified metadata.
Task Properties
General Tab
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 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.
