62We now add a metadata item -- both element and value -- to a file. First select
63the file from the Collection file tree on the left. The action causes any
64metadata previously assigned to this file to appear in the table at the right.
65<p></p>
66Next select the metadata element you want to add by clicking its row in the
67table.
68<p></p>
69Type the value into the value field. Do not use the character "|", as it is
70used for constructing hierarchies. When finished, click "Append" to add the new
71value as metadata for the chosen file. The value immediately appears in the
72Metadata table.
73<p></p>
74You can also add metadata to a folder, or to several multiply selected files at
75once. It is added to all files within the folder or selection, and to child
76folders. Keep in mind that if you assign metadata to a folder, any new files in
77it automatically inherit the folder's values.
78<p></p>
79If you choose metadata that occurs in some of the selected files and click
80"Append", it is added to the other files in the selection too.

84You can add structure to metadata values by using paths as described in <a href="theenrichview.htm#theenrichview">The Enrich View</a>.
