The Discovery process will extract a standard set of properties from items in the source and record this information in the PMA SQL database which can then be viewed on the Item details screen accessible from the Items List

This step will retrieve further information, often specific to the source platform and once this data is extracted it can be used by subsequent processing steps.  It’s important to review these properties on the Item Details screen to ensure they are correct and complete.

In Items List the status will be ‘Capture Metadata’
