Specify Content Metadata

You can define content metadata fields within a content type definition to store information about the article that is independent of version or locale. These attributes will not change based on version of the article or the locale associated with the article. This is useful for large attachments that would normally take up lots of disk space if they needed to be copied for every version or locale of as article.

Knowledge Advanced maintains content metadata independently of workflow steps and revision numbering, so that editors can modify this information without affecting the article version or progress within the publishing cycle.

Note: You can also make content category and user groups available as metadata so that editors can change this information independently of the content workflow.

Use the following procedure to define content metadata.

1. Select Content Type > List.

2. At the Repository Content Types page, select Content Type > Schema.

   The Schema Properties page appears.

3. Select Content Type > Create Meta Schema.

   The Management Console displays an empty metadata schema hierarchy:

4. Specify nodes and attributes as described in Create Content Type Schema.
