The Metadata Manager

Metadata has been called "data about data".  It is simply information stored in any system that describes the underlying data in which you are using.  BlueSky Integration Studio gives you the capability to store metadata objects that describe your databases and tables that you access on a regular basis.  This capability makes you more efficient when developing jobs because you don't have to re-enter that information every time you create a new job.  You simply import it into your job from the repository.   BlueSky Integration Studio also gives you the capability to import your metadata objects directly from the database or file you want to access.  

The Metadata Manager is located on the Administrator window (View->Administrator).  It breaks down the metadata objects into logical groups and also gives you the ability to create new group folders within the tree.
