if you want to just get columns from a list you can use the SharePoint list items, and select the option for Get List Items

if it is specific do a document use the SharePoint Documents wizard and select get documents metadata.

Hi,

I tried out the Sharepoint document get doctument metadata option. But It is asking for file name what is it? And also where will the document's metadata be after completing the wizard.

Try to add sharepoint workflow integration process wizard which gets the metadata of the list and library u want..
