62Sometimes you need to see the metadata assigned to many or all files at once -- for instance,
63to determine how many files are left to work on, or to get some idea of the
64spread of dates.
65<p></p>
66Select the files you wish to examine, then right-click and choose "Assigned Metadata...". A window called
67"All Metadata", dominated by a large table with many columns, appears. The
68first column shows file names; the rows show all metadata values assigned to
69those files.
70<p></p>
71Drawing the table can take some time if many files are selected. You can continue to use the Librarian
72Interface while the "All Metadata" window is open.
73<p></p>
74Click "Close" to hide the window.
75 <p></p>
76<img width="20" src="../gatherer_small.gif" height="20"><a name="advanced"> Advanced Instructions:</a>
77<p style="text-align:justify"></p>
78You can also view the "All Metadata" table by selecting the files you wish to
79examine, right-clicking, and choosing "Assigned Metadata...". If a folder has
80been selected, all its child files are included in the table.
81<p></p>
82When it gets too large, you can filter the "All Metadata" table by applying
83filters to the columns. As new filters are added, only those rows that match
84them remain visible. To set, modify or clear a filter, click on the "funnel"
85icon at the top of a column. You are prompted for information about the filter.
86Once a filter is set, the column header changes colour.
87<p></p>
88The prompt has a "Simple" and an "Advanced" tab. The Simple version filters
89columns so that they only show rows that contain a certain metadata value ("*"
90matches all values). You can select metadata values from the pull-down list.
91The Advanced version allows different matching operations: must start with,
92does not contain, alphabetically less than and is equal to. The value to be
93matched can be edited to be any string (including "*"), and you can choose
94whether the matching should be case insensitive. Finally, you can specify a
95second matching condition that you can use to specify a range of values (by
96selecting AND) or alternative values (by selecting OR). Below this area is a
97box that allows you to change the sort order (ascending or descending). Once
98you have finished, click "Set Filter" to apply the new filter to the column.
99Click "Clear Filter" to remove a current filter. Note that the filter details
100are retained even when the filter is cleared.
101<p></p>
102For example, to sort the "All Metadata" table, choose a column, select the
103default filter setting (a Simple filter on "*"), and choose ascending or
104descending ordering.
