The MetaTable defines the author, date, and version number of a timetable. This allows database developers to define information that uniquely identifies the database. This helps the simulator to keep track of which saved simulation uses which database. The fields are as follows:

Field: AUTHOR Type: string Purpose: Database developer's name.

Field: DATECREATED Type: date Purpose: Defines the most recent date the database was edited or otherwise changed.

Field: VERSION Type: string Purpose: Uniquely identifies the database. Prevents a saved simulation from using the wrong database. Value is a GUID.

Field: COMMENTS Type: string Purpose: This field can be left empty.
