# Get file metadata

Gets metadata about the document file.

## Parameters

The following parameters are in the computed field's [global Method](/senseml-reference/computed-field-methods/index-computed-field-methods#parameters) parameter:

| key               | value           | description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| ----------------- | --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| id (**required**) | getFileMetadata |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| type              | filename        | Copies the document's filename without the file extension to the extraction output. Sensible gets the filename from the Document Name parameter if you extract through the API or SDKs, or assigns a document name on upload if you use the Sensible app. |
