l
Order:Choose Ascending (orders like a,b,c, or 1,2,3) or Descending (orders like 3,2,1
or c,b,a) order. If the Numeric sorting option is not checked, numbers are sorted like
this:"1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9".
l Numeric Sorting:Check to sort numerically instead of alphabetically (only supports
whole numbers. Currency with thousands separator and decimal points will not work). If
any non-numeric value is found in the field or attribute, in any instance of the level, the
task raises an error.
On Error Tab
For a description of the options on the On Error tab see "Using the On Error tab" on page57.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a text area (Task comments)that lets
you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with
the OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
Metadata to PDI
The Metadata to PDItask takes the active metadata and generates a PDI using the information
in that metadata. It is generally used in conjunction with a PDFdata file and is used to generate
the PDIfile which is used by PlanetPress Search when building, refreshing or rebuilding its
database.
Input
This task can use any data file, as long as it is accompanied by metadata. This metadata may
have been directly generated or could be extracted from a PDFusing the Embed and Extract
PlanetPress Workflow Metadata task.
Processing
The metadata is read and PDFindexes are located. These indexes are defined in the
PlanetPress Design document as data selections, in which the Archive / Email / Fax properties
define the data as an index with a name.
When all the indexes are collected, a PDIfile is generated with those indexes.
