2022.2

PlanetPress Design documents (unlike Connect Designer templates) are built to contain Metadata.
PlanetPress Design users may therefore generate a Metadata file for their active sample data file,
using a PlanetPress Design document: click the Create meta data file button.
The Generated PressTalk Expression shows the expression to retrieve the currently selected attrib-
ute or field. Metadata are retrieved with the GetMeta() function (see "Metadata selections" on page52).
This expression is editable, which allows you to customize the string returned by the Metadata selector.
Tip: The wildcard parameter '?' indicates that the function operates on all nodes (not just one) of
a given level; see "Wild card parameter "?"" on page49.
The Enable search on multiple levels option is available when a Metadata is selected under Pro-
duction information or User defined information. If it is not selected, the option flag includes NoCascade
(+2). For an explanation of option flags in the GetMeta() function, see "Option flags" on page53.
Metadata level is a tree view allowing users to select the Metadata level from which to display or select
Metadata elements.
The Production information list displays all Metadata fields describing the current Metadata level, as
selected in the Metadata Level tree view, for the current data page, as selected in the Data page box.
The User defined information lists all Metadata fields defined by the user on the current Metadata
level.
Note: Not all of the options in the Metadata Selector in PlanetPress Design 7 are available in the
user interface of PlanetPress Workflow . However, when these settings are made in PlanetPress
Design 7, they will function as expected in PlanetPress Workflow2022.2.
Data Selector display preferences
The Data Selector Preferences are accessible through the Selector Options tab in the Data tab of the
Data Selector. It controls how text-based data files (such as Line Printer, ASCII and Channel Skip) are
displayed in the data selector.
