Metadata options

This page appears as part of the Advanced Print Wizard and the Job Creation Presets Wizard.

The Metadata Options page defines metadata tags that will be added to the output file when producing PDF and AFP output in the Output Creation Presets.

Metadata tags are ignored in all other output types, except when they are associated with Additional Content in the Print Wizard.

Metadata properties have a length limitation of 255 characters.

The tags can be added to any of these levels, as indicated by the tabs on top: Job, Job Segment, Document, Document Set, and Page Tags.

It is important to note that if Impositioning is used then the only metadata that will be available to the job thereafter will be the metadata at Job Segment level.

When using Impositioning everything within the Segment is Impositioned, so all metadata below the Job Segment level is lost.

In each of these levels, a list of tags is available:

Always create meta data for this level even when fields are selected: Select to create a blank metadata entry if no fields are selected. Done to ensure that a metadata store is always available, if required.
Tag Name: Name of the metadata tag added to this level. Once a tag has been added, its name can be edited by double-clicking on the Tag Name.
Source Type: Displays the type of field being used - either Text or Data Field.
Source: For Data Fields only. The Field name from the data mapping configuration whose value will be used for this tag.
Add meta data: Click to add a new tag to the current level. Select either Add field meta data or Add text meta data from the Field Selection context menu.
When adding field metadata select the field name(s) from the Field List and click OK. This will add them as tags of the same name as their associated field.
Delete Field: Click to delete the currently selected tag.
/ Move Up / Move Down: Click to move the currently selected tag(s) one position up or down.
