Page History
If your user account has the Write or Own permission level on an existing collection in DME, and if that existing collection has been configured to contain data files, you can register a data file into that collection.
The character limit for each metadata value is 2700.
To register a data file:
In your file system, create a JSON file that specifies the metadata for the new data file. Click the following link to view the syntax:
Panel borderColor #C0C0C0 borderStyle solid Expand title Syntax Code Block { "metadataEntries": [ { "attribute": "description", "value": "my-dataObject-description" }, { "attribute": "example_date", "value": "20201231", "dateFormat": "yyyyMMdd" } ] }
For each date attribute, specify one of the following date formats, and specify the date value in that format:
- yyyyMMdd
- yyyy.MM.dd
- yyyy-MM-dd
- yyyy/MM/dd
- MM/dd/yyyy
- MM-dd-yyyy
- MM.dd.yyyy
The system parses your date using the date format you specify. Then however, if the date attribute has a metadata validation rule in a different format, the system stores the date in the format specified by that rule.
