pp108 : Object Metadata

Object Metadata

This topic describes the contents of an object's metadata.

While creating a rule, in addition to using the business object, you can also use its metadata. For example, you can have a rule evaluate a condition or implement a rule action based on the object's metadata such as the object ID, template ID, organization, owner and so on.
Note: You can use the object metadata only on templates. Object metadata is not applicable on Ws-AppServer objects.
The following table describes the metadata that can be used while creating a rule and defining the rule behavior.
