Overview
The Metadata Export Widget is a content action widget that will show you metadata information about a document returned from your search.
This is a top menu widget which allows for the export of document metadata for selected documents. It has a few options.
Export Selected Documents: Will export all selected document that have been checked

Download Files with XML: This option will batch the selected files with the metadata export as a zip file. If selected you will have two options Download selected documents: Download only the currently checked documents Download all searched documents: The current search will be executed again and all returned documents will be downloaded.
Use EDRM Format: The Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) is a framework that outlines standards for the recovery and discovery and of digital data.

-
In the top menu click bulk actions and select Metadata Export
-
Add a comment for the file. This will add a comment to the message section of an xml export file (optional)
-
Select whether you wish to download documents with the export
-
Select whether to use EDRM format

Click submit. A download link will be generated, or you can retrieve the file when it's ready from the Exports page.
If a document already exists with the same name in an export, the documents id will be appended to the filename. All backslashes, forward slashes, and periods in the base file name will be converted to underscores. For example, if the file 'test.txt' exists in the export already, and another file with the same name an an id of "/my/id" is being exported, the second file will become test__my_id.txt. The accompanying xml manifest will always contain both values for processing purposes.
Note: If a document is unavailable or there is an error downloading the document, the error will be logged along with the id in a file called errors.txt. This text file along with xml will be included inside the zipped export.
