Metadata

Description

Use the Metadata options to more accurately categorize relevant data. There are different metadata options available per element, and the options will help track information provided for the input fields.

The metadata provides backend context about the element, such as its purpose, content, or function. Your users won’t see this.

Titan Solution

Please see the below table for some Metadata examples and how they are used in Titan Web.

Name	Use
Field ID	A unique Field ID is automatically assigned for each element. This also assists with mapping.
Parent ID	The Parent ID is the Field ID of the element, which contains the current element. A basic element, such as a strip, which has no parent element, will not contain a parent ID.
Type	The type of the element is shown here, for instance, Text, Input Fields, or Button.
Tag	Tags are used to internally identify elements. Tagging an element is highly recommended since tags help identify the element in Salesforce mapping, conditions, layer list and search.
Comment	Comments can be used to explain, to anyone with access to your project, the meaning of the element. Comments are optional.

How to Guide

Click the + icon to open the list of elements.
- In this article, we show the Text element as an example.
Select the Text option from the list.
Click-and-drag the Paragraph element to the canvas.
Click the Paragraph settings Gear icon. The Text setting screen opens.
Select the Metadata option from the list. Several metadata options are shown.

The field ID option is unique for different types of elements. You can use this option to search for an element.

The Parent ID refers to the strip (S1) in this example.
The type refers to the type of element. In this example, an Input Field element was added.

The tag field is empty until you add a custom label. Then, it is populated with the element’s prefix and the label. You can edit the tag manually, and the label will no longer affect it.

You can use the tag to search for elements in the project.

The following table lists the prefixes of each element and gives examples of how this feature is used:
