Basics of Metadata Editor
The Metadata Editor consists of:
-
Record pane showing an overview of information about the record as a whole and also the list of its fields with delimiters, sizes or both. Record pane is on the left side. See Record Pane.
-
Details pane showing details of an item selected in the Record pane. Details pane is on the right side. See Details Pane.
-
Buttons for undo, redo, copy, cut and paste actions in the top.
-
Show whitespace checkbox enabling user to easily distinguish particular white space characters.
Default values of some properties are printed in gray text. |
Below you can see an example of delimited metadata and fixed length metadata. Mixed metadata would be a combination of both cases. For some field names, delimiter would be defined and no size would be specified; whereas for others, size would be defined and no delimiter would be specified, or both would be defined. To create such metadata, you must do it manually.
