Define custom metadata fields for more precise document searches and filtering in a knowledge base. Metadata fields can include text, numeric, boolean, and date values.

Prerequisites

Add custom metadata to a knowledge base

1. Open the knowledge base.
2. In the header, select the Actions menu and select Edit info.

4. Select Add.

   A new row appears.

5. Enter a metadata field name and choose its data type.
6. Add a row for every field you need.
7. Select Update.

Next time you upload or ingest documents, provide metadata that uses these exact field names and compatible values.
