7.4 Exploring The Example File In The StartUpXML Folder

Let’s have a look at the XML structure of the “example.xml” document below.

<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8” ?>
<metadataset> 
	<!-- firrst class-type = Selection --> 
	<control> 
	<!-- this de nition will be used as variable (%quality) in the export xml -->
		<name>quality</name> 
		<!-- this label is displayed in the Just In Multi GUI -->
		<label>Quality</label> 
		<!-- this pull-down menu will be shown in the Just In Multi GUI --> 
			<type class=”Selection” default=”2”> 
				<item>Low</item>
				<item>Medium</item>
				<item>High</item> 
			</type>
	</control> 
	<!-- second class-type = Text --> 
	<control> <name>customText</name> 
		<label>Custom Text</label> 
		<type class=”Text” default=”Insert your text here”>
		</type>
	</control> 
	<!-- third class-type = Checkbox --> 
	<control>
		<name>special</name> 
		<label>Special</label> 
		<type class=”Checkbox” default=”0”>
		</type>
	</control> 
</metadataset>

The <metadataset> tag is the root tag of the set of definable data. Every information element that can be displayed in the GUI is found within a <control> tag, where one can define the values within the <name>, <label>, <type> and the respective <item> tags.

There are three <class> attributes available: “Selection“, “Text” and “Checkbox”.

In this example we added a new <control> tag (blue text) to the “example.xml”, where we defined a new section of <name>, <label> and <type> tags. We chose to add a Checkbox type to the code. Every addition to this “example.xml” file will be reflected in the Just In Multi GUI upon reload of the file via the Metadata Set pull-down menu.
