 Actions: This lists the actions for which the metadata group will be used. For example,
add the Create action to this metadata group if you want this group’s metadata fields
to be available when creating a new asset. (This requires that this metadata group be
part of the metadata set you assign to the asset you are creating.)
 Selected: Lists the actions for which this group will be used.
 Available: Lists the available actions.
Use the Add and Remove buttons to change the actions.
New groups normally use the View Details, Edit Details, and Create actions. These
ensure this metadata group’s fields are available when creating a new asset and
when viewing an asset’s details.
Important:
Be careful making action changes to other metadata groups. Many of these
groups are used internally by Final Cut Server and may cause serious issues if altered.
 Metadata Sets: This assigns this metadata group to a metadata set. You must assign a
metadata group to a metadata set to access the group’s metadata fields when
creating or viewing the details of an asset to which the metadata set is assigned.
 Selected: Lists the metadata sets to which this group is assigned.
 Available: Lists the available metadata sets.
Use the Add and Remove buttons to change the metadata set assignments.
Note: You can also assign a group to a metadata set in the Metadata Set window.
See “
” on page 156 for more information.
 Display Priority: Enter the order in which groups are displayed when part of a
metadata set. Smaller numbers appear above larger numbers. The range is normally
from 1 to 5 with 1 appearing first.
 Display hints: The following settings control how this group is displayed in
Final Cut Server. Display hints can also be entered for metadata fields.
 Show Thumbnail: Select this checkbox to display the thumbnails with the group. This
is used for list views and edit views (for example, when viewing an asset’s details).
 Table View: Select this checkbox to display the group’s fields in a table. Most of the
groups used for listing content in the Final Cut Server Administration window use
a table display.
 Hide Field Labels: Select this checkbox to hide the field labels when displaying a
group; for example, with Thumbnails views.
 Arrange Vertically: Select this checkbox to arrange fields in the group vertically
rather than using a best fit algorithm; for example, with Thumbnails views.
