Documentation home

See also: Server Administration Application Home Page, Metadata support

Global Metadata is maintained on the server using the Server Administration web application as shown below. This is saved in file metadata.xml in the ebaseConf folder of the web application e.g. userdata/apps/<webappname>/ebaseConf/databases/metadata.xml. This file can be copied between servers if required.

Any metadata configured here is added to the HEADER section of all pages of all forms. Metadata can also be configured at individual form level. Click here for details.
