Setting Document Properties

Existing metadata and established job naming conventions can often be used to adjust workflows. This can happen in a variety of ways: metadata can be extracted from jobs and used to enforce a naming convention for all jobs, information about the jobs can be extracted from or entered into a database, etc... These tasks can be handled quite easily in PowerSWITCH through the use of scripting.
