Validate Names: Click to check the each of line in the list against the currently active
Metadata (see "Metadata" on page69). Metadata must be loaded in "The Data Selector"
on page747 or through the use of the Debugging feature.
Set Properties
The Set Properties Action task defines properties for entities saved in the OL Connect
Database (Records, Content, and Jobs). These properties are applied to the entities and can
then be used to retrieve them using the Retrieve Entities task.
Input
The task must receive Metadata that contains appropriate entities, generally from the Create
Record Set, Create Print Content, Create HTML Content Set or the Create Job tasks.
Processing
The task sets the chosen properties to all entities present in the Metadata. These properties are
added to the entities on the OL Connect Server. Note that the properties are calculated only
once, and are applied identically to all entities. If each entity should have different properties
(such as record-level properties), the Metadata should be split using the Metadata Sequencer
task first.
Output
The task outputs Metadata that is identical to the input Metadata. Only the entries on the OL
Connect Server side change.
