Properties
l
Chose an action group
l
Load metadata file: Loads an external Metadata file that was previously saved. This can
be useful in Error processes if you have previously saved the Metadata to file (ErrorBin out-
puts do not transfer Metadata).
l
Save the current metadata file: Saves the current Metadata to a specified location. Use-
ful as a backup or for use in Error processes.
l
Delete the current metadata file: Removes the active Metadata from the process. Useful
when using a secondary input task that does not automatically regenerates Metadata. No
Metadata will be available until another task generates it.
l
Metadata Folder: Use Browse to find the location of the folder where to save the files or enter a
path using variables. Not active when the Delete action is chosen.
l
Metadata Filename: Enter a static or variable name for the Metadata file to load. Not active
when the Delete action is chosen.
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 Pro-
cess area.
Metadata Filter
The Metadata Filter task allows specifying the Level (Group, Document and Datapage) on which to
perform the action and under which condition. At least one level must have the condition set. The action
will be performed sequentially beginning with the rule on the Group level, Document level and Data
page level. The selection is performed on the node only.
For more information about Metadata see "Metadata" on page67.
Input
Any data file with accompanying Metadata.
Processing
Any Metadata that does not correspond to the rules set forth by the filter are removed from the active
Metadata. Note that the 'removed' Metadata is still present in the file, but is unselected: they are dis-
abled and ignored on all tasks that use Metadata afterward (except the Metadata Sorter task).
Output
The original data file is output, along with the modified Metadata.
