Comment: For HPCDATAMGM-1010: Replaced screenshots & changed "custom metadata" to "user metadata" throughout.

If your user account has Own or Write permission for a collection or a data file, or if your user account is a member of a group with that permission, you can update the custom user metadata for that data. 

To update user metadata:

  1. View content details as described in Viewing Metadata via the GUI. The Collection page or Data File page appears, listing all attributes for the collection or data file (both custom user metadata and system-generated metadata).

    The Collection page.Image Added

  2. Click the edit icon (The edit icon.Image RemovedThe edit icon.Image Added). In the Metadata section of the page, the custom user metadata attributes become editable. Also, buttons appear. 

  3. To add a metadata attribute: 

    1. Click Add Metadata. A blank attribute row appears. 

    2. Specify a unique attribute name.

  4. In each custom user attribute row, specify a value that describes the contents of the collection.
