| 98 | We now add a metadata item -- both element and value -- to a file. First select
|
|---|
| 99 | the file from the Collection file tree on the left. The action causes any
|
|---|
| 100 | metadata previously assigned to this file to appear in the table at the right.
|
|---|
| 101 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 102 | Next select the metadata element you want to add by clicking its row in the
|
|---|
| 103 | table.
|
|---|
| 104 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 105 | Type the value into the value field. Do not use the character "\", as it is
|
|---|
| 106 | used for constructing hierarchies. When finished, click "Append" to add the new
|
|---|
| 107 | value as metadata for the chosen file. The value immediately appears in the
|
|---|
| 108 | Metadata table.
|
|---|
| 109 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 110 | You can also add metadata to a folder, or to several multiply selected files at
|
|---|
| 111 | once. It is added to all files within the folder or selection, and to child
|
|---|
| 112 | folders. Keep in mind that if you assign metadata to a folder, any new files in
|
|---|
| 113 | it automatically inherit the folder's values.
|
|---|
| 114 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 115 | When you add metadata to multiple files at once, you will be prompted for confirmation for any files that already have a value for that metadata. You are shown the name of the file in question, the element's
|
|---|
| 116 | title, previously-assigned values for this element, and the new value. The
|
|---|
| 117 | buttons offer different options: "Append" appends the metadata to the file
|
|---|
| 118 | without altering any existing values; "Append All" adds the new value to all
|
|---|
| 119 | other files too, without requiring individual confirmation; "Skip File" proceeds to the next file; "Cancel"
|
|---|
| 120 | undoes any changes and cancels the action.
|
|---|
| 121 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 122 | If you choose metadata that occurs in some of the selected files and click
|
|---|
| 123 | "Append", it is added to the other files in the selection too.

| 127 | You can add structure to metadata values by using paths as described in <a href="theenrichview.html#theenrichview">The Enrich View</a>. Correct any mistakes in creating hierarchies by using
|
|---|
| 128 | the metadata set editor explained in <a href="editingmetadatasets.html#editingmetadatasets">Editing Metadata Sets</a>.
