Adding or Editing Metadata


Entering Custom Metadata

Your system administrator defines the metadata that can be added to content. The metadata being collected can be customized for each folder. When you create or update content, you can define metadata using fields that the administrator specified.

For example, each document stored in your Asset Management system has a unique part number. Your system administrator adds a custom search field called Part Number, and specifies that only numbers can be inserted into the field.

When you add a document to Ektron CMS400.NET, you access the content's metadata and insert the correct part number for the document (illustrated below).

Then, anyone visiting your Web site can find that document by its part number (or a range of part numbers) using the field on your Web site's search screen (illustrated below).


Note

When your system administrator sets up metadata, he determines whether or not is it "publicly viewable."
If it is, the search field appears on the search screen that site visitors use along with the search screen in the Ektron CMS400.NET Workarea. If the data is not publicly viewable, it only appears on the Workarea search screen.
