Processing
The order of the Metadata is changed in accordance with the rules set forth in the task's
properties.
Output
The original data file is output, along with the modified Metadata.
General Tab
l
Group: Sorts the Metadata by group.
l
Document: Sorts the Metadata by document.
l
Data page: Sorts the Metadata by data page.
For each parameter, three columns are available: Sort By, Then by, Then by (again). This lets
you sort your document level in three different orders sequentially. Sorts are always done from
left to right, top to bottom, giving you a total of 9 sorting possibilities.
When you click on either of the sort boxes, a small pop-up displays the following options:
l
Sort by: The drop down displays a list of available fields and attributes in that level,
letting you select on which to sort. The field or attributes must be present for every
instance of the level you are searching on, or the task raises an error.
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.
Miscellaneous Tab
The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
