- Use metadata in Switch just like any other variables to route jobs, to rename them and to make processing decisions.
- Visualize metadata for jobs submitted in SwitchClient or processed with a Connector.
- In combination with Apps from the Appstore, the Metadata Module brings all metadata within the reach of all third-party applications that integrate with Switch.
