Simple Instructions:
We now add a metadata item -- both element and value -- to a file. First select
the file from the Collection file tree on the left. The action causes any
metadata previously assigned to this file to appear in the table at the right.
Next select the metadata element you want to add by clicking its row in the
table.
Type the value into the value field. Do not use the character "|", as it is
used for constructing hierarchies. When finished, click "Append" to add the new
value as metadata for the chosen file. The value immediately appears in the
Metadata table.
You can also add metadata to a folder, or to several multiply selected files at
once. It is added to all files within the folder or selection, and to child
folders. Keep in mind that if you assign metadata to a folder, any new files in
it automatically inherit the folder's values.
If you choose metadata that occurs in some of the selected files and click
"Append", it is added to the other files in the selection too.
Advanced Instructions:
You can add structure to metadata values by using paths as described in The Enrich View.
