Editing the metadata of a Component or webpage

Edit metadata to provide information about the item you are editing. You edit metadata in a popup because typically, metadata does not appear on the webpage.

Procedure

  1. Select the border of the Component whose metadata you want to edit, or the border of the entire page, if you want to edit the metadata of the page, and do one of the following:
    • Click the Show Properties border button that appears in the top right corner.
    • Click Properties in the Home ribbon toolbar tab.
    The properties of the Component or page appear in a popup.
  2. Find the area called Metadata and click the Edit button.
    • If you see a Show button instead of an Edit, you either have no permission to edit the metadata, or another user is editing the metadata.
    • If you do not see this area at all, the item has no metadata, or you have no permission to view them.
    A popup opens, showing the metadata fields of this Component or webpage as a form.
  3. Edit the metadata in the form. The editing controls in this popup are similar to your editing controls on the webpage, with the following exceptions:
    Editing a selection
    Selection controls may display as a select box, dropdown or radio buttons. Multivalue selection controls may display as checkboxes.
    Creating a new Keyword and adding it to a selection field
    If you are sufficiently authorized, you can create and add a Keyword by clicking the Add button next to the selection control.
    Adding, moving or removing items in a multivalue field
    The controls for adding or removing items in a multivalue field appear to the left of each item in the multivalue field. To move items around, click the Move button, which changes your mouse pointer into a move icon, and drag the item to its desired new location in the list.
  4. When you are finished, click Save and Close at bottom right.
