When a Metadata Type is in focus, you will be presented with several details and settings for managing your Metadata Types, including the following:&#x20;

* **Name -** The given name of the Metadata.
* **Slug -** The value that is appended to the URL.
* **ID -** Unique identification number.&#x20;
* **Member Views -**  Number of views associated with the Metadata.

At the top right of the page, you will find Settings, including the following:

* **Add -** Add a new Metadata value to the Type in focus.
* **Filter -** Search for a specific Metadata Type while controlling the granularity of results based on visibility and ordering.&#x20;
* **Edit Details -** Edit the details of the Metadata Type itself.

Within the "Edit Details" modal, there is an Attributes tab that allows you to delete, add, and customize attributes that are associated with the values of a Metadata Type. These attributes will appear as fields that can be populated.

The Type column denotes whether the field is a String or an Image, while the Visibility column indicates whether the attribute is displayed to the Public on Tours, Members in the Member Areas, or Admin for internal tags.
