In UNICOM Intelligence Professional, use the Metadata pane to view the objects in a metadata document (.mdd) file. This is useful when you need to look up names of variables and categories for use in a filter or table.

If you have installed UNICOM Intelligence Professional with the Interview option, each interview script opens with its own individual metadata viewer attached to the side of the script. For more information, see Using the interview metadata viewer.

To display the Metadata pane, click View > Metadata on the View menu or press Alt+7 twice.

You can open any Metadata Document (.mdd) file: click the Open Metadata Document toolbar button, and then select the file in the Open Metadata dialog.

If the .mdd file contains multiple versions, the latest version is opened initially. To change the version, right-click in the Metadata pane, and then click Change Version > version. The file is opened in read-only mode; any changes you make will not be saved.

The Properties pane displays the properties of the object selected in the Metadata pane. For example, when you select a variable or element in the Metadata pane, you can view its Label property in the Properties pane. The labels are displayed in the default language; to change it, right-click in the Metadata pane, and then click Change Language.
