  • Press Ctrl+H and select ONE Search.

Using filter query in ONE Metadata Reader Step

  1. Double-click ONE Metadata Reader step and select Filter.

  2. Enter your filter using AQL search expressions.

For example, if you want to search for a specific item identifier, you would use a similar query:

$id = '813adb4c-7746-49ce-gv46-a00d2454432e'

Or, if you want to search for all items whose names contain cust, the query would be:

name like "cust"
