Managed Metadata control
Managed Metadata is a hierarchical collection of managed terms that must be defined within SharePoint prior to use in Nintex Forms. For more information on managed metadata refer to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee424402.aspx.
The Managed Metadata control retrieves these managed terms from your SharePoint environment. Once a data selection has been configured, users can select values from a list of set terms, allowing for more accurate selections.
This feature is not supported in Nintex Mobile.
