The Metadata module exposes embedded metadata found within a file, such as EXIF and IPTC tags or XMP packets. In addition, the metadata module allows for external metadata such as XML, JDF or even external XMP packets to be applied to a job. With all types of metadata, conditions can be defined greatly expanding the file management capabilities of Switch.
The license for this module should be active for you to see the Metadata category in the Flow elements pane, the Define text with variables dialog box etc. An active Metadata module license allows you to access information from any Switch dataset.
Without an active license for the Metadata module, an error is generated when you use a dataset with the Sort jobs Flow element. However, metadata entry is possible on Submit point and Checkpoint.
Please refer to the Switch Quick Start Guide for more information on how to license and activate this module.
