A metadata group resource contains a specific class of metadata. For example, a metadata group resource can contain customer related metadata, such as customer name and customer number.


When you add metadata to a metadata group resource you must specify the metadata name and type. The metadata name should be descriptive and unique, and the metadata type must conform to the type of data it is intended for – Numeric, Date, or Text.
To enable the use of metadata in shared Composition Center resources (text and reusable rules), you must add the metadata group to all document types used in Composition Center.
