To add metadata fields to a communication definition

The procedure to add meta data fields to a communication definition is as follows:

1. Navigate to Quick Menu > Communication Engine > Configuration > Communication Definitions. The Communication Definitions window is displayed.
2. Expand a module and linked entity from the alphabetical list and select an associated communication definition, or type its name into the Search Communications field. By default the list is filtered to show Current communication definitions. An alternative filter can be applied using the Filter by drop-down field: Expired, Future or All combinations 1.
3. Click on Metadata. The Metadata tab is activated.
4. Using the Cx Field Available For Metadata pane, expand an entity, parameters or conditional tags heading and select the desired field 2.
5. Click on Add Metadata. The selected field is transferred to the Data tag pane.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to add additional fields.
7. Click on Save.

Note

1 The Search Communications field will match against any element of the communication description.

2 The parameters and conditional tags available are restricted to those linked to the specific communication definition.
