Selecting metadata to log
Learn how to select metadata to log for Activity Exports.
14. October 2026
You must select at least one asset-related event before you can configure metadta logging.
Metadata is not logged by default. Metadata fields and values are only logged if the metadata has changed. The Metadata edit, Workflow, or Upload events can cause metadata to change. We recommend selecting the metadata fields that are likely to change with an event.
Metadata fields configured for logging (for activity types with asset information) are always included. For example, if the Title metadata field is included in the metadata to be logged, then the asset's title is included in the export.
Note
To log metadata events that occur as part of a workflow, for example, metadata edits and macros from actions and markers, you must select the workflow event.
Metadata markers on ingestion (copy, move, or upload) are not logged.
