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 on New Metadata Set.
- For the Name field, type in 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 in Category. For the Field Label field, type in Category.
- Click the Submit button to record the new metadata set.
The new metadata set has been created. To attach the metadata set to an asset, browse to the asset in the system, click edit on the asset, then click the metadata button to show the metadata fields, and finally choose and apply a new metadata set.
