Custom properties
Each Processor - Plugin - has its own properties that are shown in a form.
You can create your own Processor. More information at Create your own import station plugin.
This section shows the specific processor properties. Each processor shows its own properties in a form, which must be filled in to execute the task.
This form is shown when the Processor is selected from the dropdown list in the general properties section.
If you change the metadata in OpenKM while Import Station is running, you must restart your Import Station instance.
This is because metadata values are cached and any change in OpenKM will not be propagated.
