Metadata allows you to store additional, custom information related to various LootLocker features, such as Progressions, Leaderboards, and Catalogs. This data lets you add context or functionality to these features, going beyond the default settings. For example, you might use Metadata to store map details for a Leaderboard or to attach an image to an item in your in-game store. See Understanding Metadata for the supported formats, Tags, and Game Read access.
