New in V3.0: Administration// Metadata Tagging

Setup Metadata Tagging Templates

DNA Evolution allows per archive tagging templates. This allows administrators to setup tagging for users that can be enforced at archive time. To setup tagging for a particular archive, follow these steps:

• Locate the sample tagging template file in Administrator Dropbox -> Metadata Files -> _SAMPLE -> meta-data.xml (see screenshot).

 

• Alternatively, you can connect to the share over the network (See section: Network Connecting to the DNA Server Administrator Dropbox).

NOTE: YOU CANNOT PERFORM THIS OPERATION OVER A NETWORK MOUNT TO A WINDOWS MACHINE. (This is only supported from a Mac.)

Copy the sample template file into the archive folder that you wish to setup tagging for. The folder can be found in the AdminDropbox->Meta Data Files-><Your Archive Name>. 

• Alternatively, you can login to the DNA controller and perform this over Terminal. The administrator dropbox is located in /sdna_fs.
• Once you have copied the sample file, you can edit its contents to your needs. Currently DNA Evolution supports the following types of metadata fields:
  • Free Text, Dropdown
  • Optional, Mandatory

Tip: You can specify unlimited key value metadata pairs.
