The Metadata Tool, most of the time overlooked, is a pretty handy Ci Tool that allows you to modify elements Classifications and Properties in a quick way, without this tool you would need to access the element settings to modify them quickly, and this can slow down your work-flow, specially when you have to do this over a few hundred elements, or even more.
The MetaData Ci Tool is a Palette that will allow you to modify that information on the go, by just selecting the desired elements and modify the values within the Palette.
You can either modify element properties or the classification assign. If multiple elements are selected, but they’ve different classification assigned, you will see the properties that are not in common for both type highlighted in blue.
I hope this information is useful for you to know a bit more about MetaData.
We’ll go over different part of the Palette in a future Tip of the Day.
