Set Properties
The Set Properties Action task defines properties for entities saved in the OL Connect Database
(Records, Content, and Jobs). These properties are applied to the entities and can then be used to
retrieve them using the "Retrieve Items" on page537 task.
Input
The task must receive Metadata that contains appropriate entities, generally from the "Execute Data
Mapping" on page522, "Create Print Content" on page513, "Create Web Content" on page516 or the
"Create Job" on page504 tasks.
Processing
The task sets the chosen properties to all entities present in the Metadata. These properties are added
to the entities on the OL Connect Server. Note that the properties are calculated only once, and are
applied identically to all entities. If each entity should have different properties (such as record-level
properties), the Metadata should be split using the "Metadata Sequencer" on page476 task first.
Output
The task outputs Metadata that is identical to the input Metadata. Only the entries on the OL Connect
Server side change.

OL Connect Proxy Tab
This tab is common to all OL Connect tasks and defines where to process the jobs sent through these
tasks. When these fields are empty, they use the defaults set in the "OL Connect preferences" on
