Note: You are not allowed to edit the required metadata maps.
To edit an existing metadata map
1 Double-click the metadata map in the Metadata Map pane.
The Metadata Map window appears, showing the settings for that map.
2 Make any necessary changes and click Save Changes.
The Metadata Map window closes.
See Settings for Metadata Maps for more information on the settings.
Settings for Metadata Maps
The Metadata Map window provides the controls to edit an existing metadata map or to
define a new metadata map.
The Metadata Map window contains the following settings:
• From Field: From the list of all metadata fields, choose the field to map from.
• To Field: From the list of all metadata fields, choose the field to map to.
• Priority: Enter the mapping priority. The range normally goes from 1 to 3. This is used
to resolve conflicts where more than one field maps to the same destination, in which
case the larger number has a higher priority, with 1 having the lowest priority.
• Two-way map: Select the checkbox to create two mirror-image maps. This effectively
creates a second metadata map with the from and to metadata fields swapped.
Metadata Lookups
Lookups are pop-up menus with lists of values that a user uses to enter a metadata field’s
data. Examples include:
• A list of categories
• A list of production types
• A list of priorities
