Metadata Sets can be used to customise your metadata workflow in just:in. It is possible to display user-defined metadata fields within the just:in User Interface and to export sidecar files (xml or json) based on the entered data in these fields for every recorded file.

Metadata Sets in just:in

Here's a rough outline on how it works:

  1. You select a (previously defined) Metadata Set in the Inspector.
  2. You enter your Metadata and do the Recording.
  3. just:in writes the Recording and a corresponding Sidecar file to a user defined location.

This figure shows how the included example would be displayed in the Inspector. The naming, the number and the type of Metadata Fields is completely user definable.
