Metadata Field Properties

• PlanetPress Talk ID: A unique identifier for the metadata field. The name you choose should be both descriptive and unique, cannot begin with a number, and can contain only the following ASCII characters: underscore (_), upper and lower case letters of the alphabet, all digits 0 through 9.If you use an underscore in the name, it should not appear as either the first or last character of the name as this may cause internal conflicts in the software. Names are case-insensitive and must be unique; no two elements in a document can have the same name. Names can be a maximum of 50 characters in length. Finally, PlanetPress Talk variable and command names are reserved words; you cannot use any of these reserved words as a name.
• Level: The hierarchical level where the new field will be created.
• Fields: Attributes for the actual field(s) to be created:
  • Value: The actual value of the new field(s).
  • Condition: A global or local condition to determine whether or not the field will be created.
  • Create action: How the field(s) creation will behave if the currently added field already exists.
• Add button: Used to add a new element to the current metadata field, thus creating an array of metadata values withing this field.
• Delete button: Used to remove a given value from the metadata field.
