Metadata
Metadata is a hierarchical structure describing a job. Simply put, metadata is data about data
or, in other words, information tagged to data. Metadata includes information about the data file
itself, the document, custom user fields and in some cases page properties and page counts.
PlanetPress Workflow provides a whole series of plugins to create and edit Metadata within
processes (see "Metadata Tasks" on page422).
Note
Applications or plugins created in PlanetPress Suite 6 and using metadata will need to
be updated for use in version 2018.1. No backward compatibility mode is available.
Warning
When a user-defined emulation is used with metadata, results and behavior are unknown
and unsupported. For instance, refreshing the metadata file may cause the document to
crash and/or corrupt. For this reason, it is strongly advised to create backup copies of
your documents beforehand.
