To do so, click the information icon next to the Base Path field. A Valid Hierarchies chart appears indicating the collection type or types allowed within each collection type. In the chart, a check mark indicates each collection in which you can register data files.

Specify the metadata for the parent collection. The system applies this metadata to the entire collection, not to individual files:
If you change your mind about adding an attribute, leave the name and value fields blank for that attribute. The system ignores a blank row. If you proceed to update the collection with a new attribute, the attribute name is permanent.
