Metadata fields
Every file has metadata; the name of the file is an obvious example, or the size. On this page we list all the metadata fields. Click any of them to see more detail.
We include example searches where they’re helpful.

There are two types of field:
Native metadata fields are a property of the file itself.
For example, the author of the file.
Non-native metadata fields contain data that we’ve discovered in the file.
For example, a list of credit card numbers in the body of a file.
You can search on any of these fields using Query Builder.

Can the value appear in a list of search results? Typically, we don’t display fields that are long lists (credit card numbers, for example). |
Examples |
Sample values you would see in the field. |
Native |
If we take a field’s value from the file it is native. If we compute the value it is not native. For example, file size is a native field. Telephone numbers are not native because NOW Privacy detects them automatically. |
Exportable |
Can the field be included in an export? |
