If your user account has Own or Write permission for a collection, or if your user account is a member of a group with that permission, you can update the user metadata for that collection. (To edit metadata for a data file, refer to Updating Metadata for One Collection or Data File via the GUI.) 

To update user metadata:

  1. Perform a search as described in Searching for Data via the GUI. The search results page appears. 

    The Collection Search Results page.
  2. Select the collections in which you want to add or edit a metadata name-value pair:

    • To select all collections in the search results: Click Update Metadata on Search Results.
    • To select specific collections: In the selection column, select each collection of interest. To select rows from multiple pages of search results, hold the Shift key while navigating to and selecting the additional rows. Click the edit icon () above the list.

    The Update Bulk Metadata page appears. Depending on your selection, this page either specifies the total number of collections or lists the selected collections.
