¶ Job Metadata
Revision date: 30/sep/2024
Software version: 2024.08.00
Please note that the Metadata widget has been deprecated and replaced by the Job Metadata and Asset Metadata. The first allows you to configure output metadata when running flows and the second displays source metadata. If you are using an older version than 2024.07.00, we recommend visiting the Metadata widget page for further details and information.
When configuring output metadata, you can set up metadata for various widgets, including Job Control, Player, Gang Capture, and EDL. The Job Metadata widget displays each of these “sub-widgets” in separate tabs, where you can fill in the required metadata fields before executing workflows. The fields shown in these tabs will differ based on the metadata profile selected for each workflow.
You can reorder the tabs by dragging and dropping them into the positions that best suit your needs.
At the top left corner of the form, the workflow name is displayed, and on the right, you’ll find the Settings button. Clicking this button allows you to configure specific metadata behaviors, as detailed below.
The “Reset Fields” tab allows you to reset custom metadata field values after the workflow execution. To specify which fields will be reset, select the desired custom metadata fields in the left panel and use the center arrows to move them to the right panel. The center arrows can be used to edit the fields that will be reset, while the right arrows enable you to rearrange the order of the fields:
The “Advanced” tab presents some settings relevant to the widget.
- Send metadata to active players in the gang capture widget: send the metadata to all active players on the Gang Capture widget;
- Show current take: display metadata for current take;
- Override workflow take number: override overflow take number with value on interface;
- Custom star values: edit the names of the corresponding star rating values.
