File meta-data app

Hi,

Weird question. Is anyone having issues installing the File meta-data app?

It install with no issues but then I receive an error 500. The app is not visible in the app bar, so I make it visible, but instead of the app's own UI, I get the UI of another app. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app doesn't solve the issue.

Any advice?

Thank you,
Robert

This app is not visible (doesn't have its own navigation). Instead, you should see a new input type listed in the list of data inputs.

Go to "Settings" (from the upper right of the screen) and then click "Data Inputs". Next, click "add new" next to "File Meta-data".
