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.
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.
Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and all tasks because they are
related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some examples would be W3813, W3830, W3991, W4005. These cor-
respond to issues such as not having any space to write files, permission errors on folders or files, etc.
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.
Input
Any data file with accompanying metadata.
Processing
The metadata file is split on the selected level.
Output
The original data file is output, along with the modified metadata.
