Dynamic operators when editing metadata

These are dynamic operators that can be used to refer to fields and insert their content in Color Factory's templates or macros, and when creating search queries for channels that search in Index Manager archives.

These dynamic operators can be used to create search queries, for example, when configuring auto searches in FotoStation or FotoWeb.

For information about a similar feature in FotoWeb search queries, see Dynamic tags.
