What can Switch do with Metadata

Switch can interpret metadata provided in many formats:

Use metadata in Switch just like any other variables to route jobs, to rename them and to make processing decisions.
Visualize metadata for jobs submitted in SwitchClient or processed with a Connector.
In combination with Apps from the Appstore, the Metadata Module brings all metadata within the reach of all third-party applications that integrate with Switch.
Use metadata tools to export metadata and convert XML information, preflight logs and reports into other XML formats, HTML or human-readable information.
