where "?" represents the current page.
Using this expression, if the metadata structure has 3 data pages, then the task willproceed 3
times sequentially, with ?=1 for the first data page, ?=2 for the second and ?=3 for the third and
last data page index from the metadata structure.
In the Metadata tab of the Data Selector, the syntax of the selection is:
GetMeta(ItemDesc[?], 2, Job.Group[?].Document[?].Datapage[?])
where "?" is replaced with the current level index.
Note: For a relative position, the string has to be edited manually.
Metadata Sequencer
Although the Metadata Sequencer acts as a splitter, the data file itself remains untouched, as
neither the data nor the metadata are actually being split through this task. With each
sequence, the entire data file still gets carried from one task to another. Metadata records are
simply selected / deselected, which has the same effect.
Input
Any data file with accompanying metadata.
Processing
A loop is established and the metadata is separated into chunks, as defined in the rules set
forth in the task properties.
Output
The original data file is output once per chunk, along with this chunk's metadata. Note that
*all*the metadata is in each of the sequence, but anything not part of the sequence is disabled
and is ignored by all tasks using metadata afterwards.
