Source Metadata

The Source Metadata view shows what was loaded and how it was parsed, plus live memory usage. Everything is computed locally in your browser.

Opening it

Click Metadata (the document icon) in the workspace top bar.

What it shows

  • Data overview — Counts of stimuli, participants, and AOIs in the current workspace, including the AOI count per stimulus.
  • Current parsing — Shown only when the data on screen differs from the original import (e.g. after editing): the files being processed, total size, and parse date.
  • Source parsing — Details of the original eye-tracking import:
    • Files processed, with sizes, and total size.
    • Parse duration and date.
    • GazePlotter version and browser (user agent).
    • Parse settings: format type, row and column delimiters, and any manual choices (such as the Tobii stimulus-parsing option).
    • Data imported before GazePlotter 1.7.0 has no source-parsing metadata, and a failed import shows the error message and ID instead.
  • Recent errors — Recent recoverable errors from this session, useful for troubleshooting.
  • Memory — Live JavaScript heap usage and limit, refreshed every couple of seconds.

Exporting
