The relationships between the various metadata items for assets and productions are
as follows:

Each of these metadata items is configured in its own pane:

Â

Metadata Field pane:

This is where you create new metadata fields or edit existing

fields. See “

Metadata Fields

” on page 138 for more information.

Â

Lookup pane:

This is where you create pop-up menus that can be used by the

metadata fields. Using pop-up menus instead of text or number entry fields can
make entering metadata easier and more precise. See “

Metadata Lookups

” on

page 151 for more information.

Â

Metadata Group pane:

This is where you create groups of metadata fields. See

Metadata Groups

” on page 143 for more information.
