DigiTool Metadata Global Changes Job Guidelines
Overview
Metadata Global Changes are based on Xpath syntax. It is recommend to use an Xpath evaluation tool (found online or in many XML editors) to determine the correct Xpath for the purpose.
Running the change in test mode before making the change is highly recommended. A test directory can be defined in any location. Insert the full path in the "Test directory" parameter.
