Adding Metadata

Article Topics: Metadata

Metadata Types can be added to your Content Sets to help you and your visitors categorize your Content. Content Sets can contain multiple Metadata Types, and each metadata Type can hold multiple Values.

All of your Metadata Types can be managed in the Metadata Section of the Content Management Admin.

Adding Metadata Types

1. Navigate to the Metadata section of the Content Management Admin.

2. Select the "Add New" button at the top of the page.

1. Select the New Metadata Type option.

1. Insert the name and short name for your Metadata Type, then select the "Add" button.

The metadata type will now be created and appear as an available field on your Content Sets, but must still be populated with Metadata Values.

Adding Metadata Values

1. Select the "Add New" button at the top of the specific Metadata Type, then select the second option, prompting you to add a new value to the Metadata Type. In this example, Country is the Metadata Type we wish to add value to.

1. Insert the name of the Value, then select the "Add" button.

The new Metadata Value "USA" has now been added to the Metadata Type "Country" and can be added to your Sets.

Adding Metadata to Sets

1. Navigate to the Content Set you wish to add Metadata to.

2. Select the "Update" button next to the Metadata Type.

1. Click the dropdown to view a list of available Values or search for the value directly.

Selecting the Value will automatically add it to your set. Alternatively, New Data Values for the currently selected Metadata Type can be created by simply typing the name of the new data value into the field.

The Content Set will now have the appropriate Metadata Type values.
