Working with Elements
A variety of Elements can be added to Tabs to accommodate the management and presentation of asset metadata. Some of these Elements are single-use, that is, they are used only once in an asset type. Once assigned, single-use elements no longer appear in the list of available elements. The various Elements are described below.
To add an Element to a Tab:
- In the Type Manager, under Tabs, select a tab to work with.
- In the Elements box, click Add.
- When prompted, choose an element:
Multiple use elements:
- Text Field provides a field for textual information
- Numeric Text Field provides a field for numeric information
- URL provides a text-entry field for URLs
- Check Box provides yes/no or on/off selection for element data
- Drop-down Box allows the creation of a selection list
- Editable List allows the creation of a list of unknown values
- Multiple Selection List allows the creation of a list from which more than one item can be selected
