NewWild Card
For a given Metadata Field Management action, all nodes of a given level mightbe updated
with a new Field Value.To accommodate this,metadata/data selection functions have
beenmodified to accept a wild card parameter "?", indicating the function operates on allnodes
(not just one) of a given level.For example, in a PDF emulation, the format of a selected region
is:
region(?,0.59375,2.21875,1.85416,2.51041,KeepCase,NoTrim)
where “?” represents the current physical data page processed by the task.
Limitations
l The name of the metadata field to add must adhere to these syntax rules: start with a
letter, followed by zero or more letters, numbers, underscore or dash. The name is not
case-sensitive.
l
Metadata Fields Management actions on the page level are not possible since the entire
task execution is based on the data page node.
l
The task raises an error if the selected Metadata Fields Management action is Sum and
if one of the field valuesis not numeric.The task supports approximately 15 digits of
precision in a range from 2.23 x 10
-308
to 1.79 x 10
308
.
