Creating or Editing Metadata Folders

If you chose to create metadata elements at data source creation time, the Connection Wizard gives you the option of creating a metadata folder to store those elements. However, you can create metadata folders at any time and use them to store not only metadata elements, such as dimension elements or hierarchies, but other objects, such as cube schemas or drill-through reports. Metadata folders can help you organize the items in the Metadata Navigator.

  To create a metadata folder:

  1. In the Metadata Navigator, navigate to the location where you want to create the folder, and select File, then New, and then Folder.

  2. Enter a folder Name.

  3. Optional: Enter a Description.

  4. Click Apply, then click OK.

  To edit a folder name or description:

  1. Right-click the folder name and select Edit.

  2. Optional: Update the Name.

  3. Optional: Update the Description.

  4. Click Apply, then click OK.
