# MetadataAttribute

The name of an attribute to extract information from. If you set this parameter, Web Connector extracts the value of the named attribute on the element(s) selected by the corresponding MetadataSelector numbered parameter, instead of extracting the content of the selected element(s). The attribute value is added to the document field specified by the corresponding MetadataFieldName numbered parameter.
