Metadata Sets
Metadata sets provide a way to configure the standard metadata fields (e.g. title, summary, author, etc) and to add custom metadata fields to support user-defined taxonomies. Metadata sets can be applied to pages, files, folders, blocks, and external links, allowing for custom metadata fields to be included for selected assets. You want to create a new metadata set that requires the title field and has a custom text field category.
A. Create a Metadata Set
To create a new metadata set:
- Go to the Administration area, and select Metadata Sets from the left navigation bar.
- Click New Metadata Set.
- For the Name field, type Require Title with Category.
- Go to the Wired Fields pane.
- For Title, check the box for Required. The Visible, Hidden, and Inline fields are used to determine if the field is shown behind the metadata drop down menu, removed altogether, or shown inline with content, respectively.
- Go to the Dynamic Fields pane.
- Click Text to create a new custom metadata field.
- For the Name field, type Category. For the Field Label field, type Category.
- Click the Submit button to record the new metadata set.
The new metadata set has been created. To attach the metadata set to a content type, edit an existing content type and choose the new metadata set. This new metadata set will now be applied to all pages using the modified content type.
