Metadata
Metadata is information about data or tags that describe the type of content; they contain, for example, the name of the document, the type of document, its size, the name of the person who created the document, etc.
The Metadata tab can be found in the Classification Scheme.
Depending on the settings on the classification scheme, metadata may or may not be required to define the document. The main purpose is to equip the document with metadata and thus make it easier to search, filter and sort it in the documentation.

HINT
When receiving a document, for example an invoice, we also receive its basic information (place of issue, amount, sender, etc.). When the account goes through the liquidation process, it can be equipped with this so-called metadata that helps us with the logical placement of the document within the organization, e.g. contract number, cost carriers, etc. For more information, see the user case Document Metadata.
