How do I populate Domino metadata using a SMARTsend workflow?
Note: SMARTsend is not able to query the Domino Server for metadata (document attribute)
fields. Therefore, there are some administrative steps that must be performed before a
SMARTsend workflow can be used to populate Domino metadata fields.

Administration Steps
1. Decide which Domino metadata fields you would like to populate using a SMARTsend
workflow. To know which ones are available, see the design tab of a document in your
Domino Document Library. The most common fields to populate are Categories, Body, and
Subject. Therefore, these are the fields that will be covered in this document.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<metadataConfig
xmlns="http://www.xerox.com/dsp/2002/services/repositories/domino">
<metadata label="Subject" name="Subject" required="false"/>
<metadata label="Body" name="Body" required="false"/>
<metadata label="WebCategories" name="WebCategories" required="false"/>
</metadataConfig>

<metadata label="Subject" name="Subject" required="false"/>
<metadata label="Body" name="Body" required="false"/>
<metadata label="WebCategories" name="WebCategories" required="false"/>
</metadataConfig>
Note: This XML can be edited to your own requirements by changing the “metadata”
elements of the xml. The metadata elements consist of the following:
label – This is the text that the user will see when mapping document attributes.
name – This is the name of the field as defined in Domino.
required – This can be set to true or false and specifies whether or not the user has to
enter data for this field in order for the workflow to be successful.

Apply.
