The Search options defines how to retrieve the value of a given metadata element (attribute or
field) when it is not present at the current metadata level. The possible search options are:
l Search from a specific location only.
l Search from level X to Job, where X can be any metadata level (Job, Group, Document,
Datapage, Page). With this search option, if the selected metadata element does not exist
at the specified level, then it will be searched for, starting at the lowest metadata level as
specified in the search option, then one level up until the element is found.
The Raise an error if the field does not exist option allows to control what to do when a given
metadata element is not found, regardless of the search option.
The Data page box lets the user choose which data page metadata elements to be displayed.
The Metadata level is a tree view allowing users to select the metadata level from which to
display or select metadata elements.
TheAttributes list displays all metadata attributes describing the current metadatalevel,as
selected in the Metadata Level tree view, for the current data page, as selected in theData
Page control.
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.
AboutData Emulation
Emulations are like filters that can be used to read the data. When you create a document in
PlanetPress Design, you choose a sample data file and specify the emulation to use for the
chosen data. The emulation setting you choose will typically always be associated with that
document. If you choose a CSV (comma separated values) file and specify the corresponding
emulation, for instance, commas encountered in the data will typically be considered as value
separators.
Within PlanetPress Workflow, the same emulation tools as PlanetPress Design are available
throughout your process, using the Data Selector. One notable exception however is that User-
Defined Emulation is not available because it uses PlanetPress Talk code, which is not
available within PlanetPress Workflow Configuration Program.
