<MTA/>

 

 

Description:

Entity tag containing specialized data specific to each Section. Currently there are two Meta Data tags used to designate Sections containing the Unified Submittal Descriptions as well as Sections that use the Automatic Paragraph Numbering.

 

 

Source:

Submittal Descriptions:  Insert the tag globally through the SI Explorer's menu Process | Release Processing, checking the option Mark All as Unified Submittal Descriptions. Insert into individual Sections through Editor’s Insert Menu | Tags.

Automatic Paragraph Numbering:  Insert the tag globally through the SI Explorer's menu Process | Convert Job/Master.   Insert into individual Sections through Editor’s Insert Menu | Tags.  

Caution:  Simply inserting the Automatic Paragraph Numbering <MTA/> tag will not complete the process required to use Automatic Paragraph Numbering, see recommendations below.

 

 

 

Rules:

The Unified Submittal Description MTA Tag,  must appear at the beginning of the Section, immediately following the <SEC> tag. Old and new Submittal Format cannot be mixed within a Job; all Sections within a Job must be of the same Submittal Format type.

The Automatic Paragraph Numbering MTA Tag, must appear at the beginning of the Section, immediately following the Unified Submittal Description tag.

Both tags and notes should be visible to determine proper placement of the cursor.

Meta Data tags have no ending tag.

 

 

It is recommended that the Unified Submittal <MTA/> tag be inserted into all the Masters Sections globally during Release Processing. If the tag is inserted in an individual Section through the Editor by using the Insert Menu | Tags, then the following procedure must also be performed:

  1. Place the cursor to the immediate right of the <MTA/> tag and right-click.

  2. From the menu that appears, choose Attributes | New Submittal Format.

The mark-up will then appear as: <MTA NAME=SUBFORMAT CONTENT=NEW/>

 

With Tags turned on the tag looks as follows:

It is also recommended that the Automatic Paragraph Numbering <MTA/> tag is added by the Process | Convert Job/Master function see this topic to learn more.
