Before viewing the statuses listed below, make sure all steps and parameterizations described in the Using docvariables in electronic files section have been performed.

 

Due to an incompatibility between docvariables (Microsoft Office only) and variables (LibreOffice only), metadata (variables and docvariables) will not be filled out/updated if a document in Microsoft Office formats (e.g.: .docx, .xlsx, etc.) is converted to LibreOffice or if a document in LibreOffice formats (e.g.: .odt, .ods, etc.) is converted to Microsoft Office.

 

When viewing the electronic file, the metadata will be exported to an .exp file with the same name as the file being viewed.
