This page describes how to update the custom metadata for a collection from the Browse page. (Question: Does this ability depend on user roles or permissions? Are internal users able to edit the system-generated metadata, to resolve problems? Why does the system display the system attributes? Has the team considered listing the custom metadata and system metadata separately?)
To update metadata:
- Log in as described in Logging In via the Web GUI. The Dashboard appears.
- Unable to render {include} The included page could not be found.
- Navigate to and right-click the location where you want to create your collection. Click View Details. The Collection page appears, listing all attributes for the collection (both custom metadata and system-generated metadata).
- Click the edit icon ( ). In the Metadata section of the Collection page, the custom metadata attributes become editable. Also, buttons appear.
To add a metadata attribute:
Click Add Metadata. A blank attribute row appears.
Specify a unique attribute name.
- In each custom attribute row, specify a value that describes the contents of the collection.
- Click Update. The system saves the changes to the server API.
