# Setting Clarity Metadata

There are options to link a channel to a enum or bit field type in Clarity automatically by setting the name of the type in Clarity Gateway. This information allows the receiving cloud system to link this tag to the correct enum type definition, but Clarity Gateway itself does not perform any decoding.
