Using metadata in a space
- Patricia Yagüe
- Robert Alexander Marshall
Overview
Metadata added to a space can easily be retrieved and applied on other pages, or in other spaces either as a individual space metadata value or by selecting a range of space metadata value names.
This means that for example, a single space can be created for data entry as values for metadata names, and the values of each of the metadata names can be retrieved and used in the space where the metadata has been added or in other space pages.
In a space using metadata in this way, similar to using metadata on a page, avoids the continual repeated entry of data into tables across a space with the values simply being entered at a single point.
In reverse the metadata values from across a range of pages can be reported back to a single page to create a dashboard of information.
