Metadata Types

Internal Metadata

Internal metadata is a part of a graph, it is contained in a graph and can be seen in its source tab.

External (Shared) Metadata

External (shared) metadata is located outside the graph and can be shared across multiple graphs.

SQL Query Metadata

SQL query metadata is generated dynamically during runtime from an SQL query. It is useful to create more generic graphs when working with databases.

Reading Metadata from Special Sources

Similarly to SQL query metadata, other metadata definitions can be used in the Source tab of the Graph Editor pane.
