# _SELECT

The `_SELECT` element is used to extract a single selectable attribute from an object or relationship, and insert the value of the attribute into the document metadata.

Attribute | Description
--- | ---
`attr_name` | The name of the attribute to retrieve.
`node_name` | The name of the metadata field to contain the attribute value. If `node_name` is not specified, the escaped form of the attribute name is used.

## Example

The following XML can be used in the `DocumentsXML` file:

    <DOCUMENT ...>
       <selectables>
          <_SELECT node_name="descr" attr_name="description"/>
       </selectables>
    </DOCUMENT>

Result

The following XML is created in the indexed document:

    <selectables>
       <descr>something</descr>
    </selectables>
