FileName | Title | Description | Keywords |
50181 | 50182 | 10192 | |
\File1.png | xml title1 | xls description1 | xls keyword1 |
\File2.png | xml title2 | xls description2 | xls keyword2 |
b. You can also match other metafield. When using another field than Fullpath UNC for match you must also use a different column for input and make sure the column has the proper values matching actual unique metadata values for the assets.

\File2.png | file2 | xml title2 | xls description2 | xls keyword2 |
To match you need Assets with ‘String' metafieds values ‘file1’ and 'file2’:
