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?)

To update metadata:

  1. Log in as described in Logging In via the Web GUI. The Dashboard appears.
  2. Browse for content as described in Browsing for Data via the GUI. The Browse page appears.
  3. 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).
    The Collection page.
  4. Click the edit icon (The edit icon.). In the Metadata section of the Collection page, the custom metadata attributes become editable. (Question: Why display the system attributes? Are internal users able to edit the system-generated metadata, to resolve problems? Has the team considered separate lists for the custom and system metadata?) Also, buttons appear. 

  5. To add a metadata attribute: 

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

    2. Specify a unique attribute name.

  6. In each custom attribute row, specify a value that describes the contents of the collection. 
    The Collection page with editable attributes.
  7. Click Update. The system saves the changes to the server API.
