Downloading Metadata for an Asset

If you have a MoDaC user account, you can download the metadata for one or more files in an asset, to your local system. 

1. Log in, as described in Logging In. 
2. Search for the data of interest, as described in Finding Data. 
3. In the search results, click the link for the asset of interest. The Asset Details page appears. 
4. If the asset has subfolders, navigate to the file of interest. (Click each folder to open it.)
5. Select one or more files:
   • To download the metadata of one file, click the Download File Metadata icon () in that row.
   • To select all files at the asset level, select the Batch Select checkbox. (To deselect one file, click the checkbox in that row.) Click Download Selected Metadata.

   A message appears, asking whether you want to include parent metadata in the download.

6. Click Yes or No. The Save As dialog box for your operating system appears.
7. Save the file. The resulting XLS file contains all metadata (system and user) for the selected files.
