Metadata selections
Metadata selections are used with any type of emulation, as long as a metadata file was
created by a previous task in the process.
Tip
To get a sample of the metadata file, debug your process and step through it until the
option View Metadata gets enabled. This happens when metadata have been created by
a task in the process. Open the metadata viewer and save the metadata file to use it as a
metadata sample file in the Data Selector.
