# Configure metadata
**Metadata** let you store custom data on a per work order basis. Metadata can be used for different purposes: to gather contextual information on a work order, to cross-validate analysis and to filter work orders on our monitoring platform.
### Metadata configuration
**Metadata are created manually via the Metadata tab in the Apps Center**. Those created metadata will be displayed in the mobile application at the work order creation and can also be used as a template for creating work orders via the Deepomatic API.
Create metadata modal
Several informations need to be provided to create a metadata:
* **Name** (*required*), name of the metadata that will be displayed to field workers.
* **Description**, optional field to provide more information on the metadata.
* **Type**, three types are available: text, number or boolean.
* **Example**, one or several examples of what is expected as a metadata.
* **Required**, to define whether the metadata must be sent by field workers when creating a work order.
Each created metadata will be listed in the tab with their corresponding information.
