Add a Column to the Metadata Table

By default, eight columns are shown: Id, Connector, Status, Received Date, Response Date, Errors, Source, and Type. You can add columns to and remove columns from the table, one at a time, using the Column Options icon/menu in the list's column header. Note: The Messages Lists for all channels have the same column configuration; that is, any columns added to/removed from the Messages List of one channel are added to/removed from the Messages List of all channels. You can add as many available columns as you would like, though not all will be visible onscreen at once. If all columns cannot be viewed onscreen, a horizontal scroll bar appears below the Messages List. Scroll left or right to view the desired columns/data. Removing a column does not remove its data; the data reappears when you add the column back to the Messages List. Use the following steps to add a column to the Message List. On the far-right side of the Message List column header, select the Column Options icon. On the C

Use Custom Meta Data Columns to increase the performance of searching the message history on a particular message field.

If there is a particular element of data from your messages that you may need to search by later, configure the channel to map the data into a custom meta data field. Mirth Connect will then index this data to improve search performance when searching for particular values. To do this, first create a mapper transformer step that maps the value into a Channel Map variable ("myField" for example). Then in the "Custom Metadata" section of the channel summary screen, add a new column and assign it to the variable mapping that you defined ("myField"). To search for messages based on values in your custom meta data column, select "Advanced..." to open the Advanced Search Filter. Then add search criteria for the custom field in the table Parent topic: Channel Configuration
