When a Metadata Type is in focus, you will be presented with several details and settings for managing your Metadata Types, including the following: * **Name -** The given name of the Metadata. * **Slug -** The value that is appended to the URL. * **ID -** Unique identification number. * **Member Views -** Number of views associated with the Metadata.
