Genre recognition on device

esedwards · 07-26-2024, 06:22 PM

I want to be able to use the Pocketbook Era's sort by Genre function for books.

After researching, I stumbled across this previous post discussing it (see below) and followed the instructions for setting up Genres in Calibre.

However, step 3 says:
In calibre adding a metadata plugboard with:
Format: epub,
Device: Pocketbook740 (for the Inkpad 3),
Source template: {#genre} - assuming you called the custom column lookup name from 1. above #genre,
Destination field: tags

Would someone please be able to provide additional details on this?
I do not understand what a metadata plugboard is or how to complete this final task.

Thank you for reading my post and for any help you can provide.

Answering my own question to help any future people that had this issue.

In Calibre, select the "Preferences" section and you will find the "Metadata Plugboards" option.
