13This section explains how to add metadata and values to files, and how to add new values for metadata elements.

16We now add a metadata item -- both element and value -- to a file. First select
17the file from the Collection file tree on the left. The action causes any
18metadata previously assigned to this file to appear in the table at the right.
19<p></p>
20Next select the metadata element you want to add by clicking its row in the
21table.
22<p></p>
23Type the value into the value field. Use the "|" character to add structure, as described in <a href="theenrichview.htm#theenrichview">The Enrich View</a>. Pressing the [Up] or [Down] arrow keys will save the metadata value and move the selection appropriately. Pressing [Enter] will save the metadata value and create a new empty entry for the metadata element, allowing you to assign multiple values to a metadata element.
24<p></p>
25You can also add metadata to a folder, or to several multiply selected files at
26once. It is added to all files within the folder or selection, and to child
27folders. Keep in mind that if you assign metadata to a folder, any new files in
28it automatically inherit the folder's values.
