Metadata Sets

A Metadata Set allows the administrator to customize metadata options for multiple assets. Metadata Sets are managed in the Administration area.

To create a new Metadata Set:

In the Administration area, select Metadata Sets from the left navigation bar.
Navigate to your desired Container, or create a new container to hold the metadata set.
Click New Metadata Set.
Under the General pane:
Name - It is often useful to name metadata sets according to the type of asset that will be used.
Parent Container - This value will default to the current container, but can be changed by clicking the chooser icon.
Under the Wired Fields pane:
You will see a list of metadata fields that are standard for every asset. The Visibility column allows you to determine whether a field is shown in the metadata pane, completely hidden, or shown inline with content in the content pane. Checking the Required box will force users to enter a value for that field before allowing them to submit assets.
Under the Dynamic Fields pane:
The dynamic fields allow you to add custom metadata fields. Click on Add Text, Radio, or Dropdown, and enter a Name for the new field. Other options can be selected as normal. If you create a Radio or Dropdown Field, you will also be prompted to enter the appropriate Configuration for options. If you create more than one dynamic field, you may enter a listing order for each field.
Click Submit to save your new Metadata Set.

To attach a Metadata Set to an asset:

In the Home area, select the desired asset and click the Edit tab.
On the Metadata pane, under Custom Metadata, click the chooser icon and select the desired metadata set.
Click Submit to record the metadata set assignment. You may then go back into the Edit tab and edit metadata values as desired.
