Adding custom fields
The purpose of custom fields is to enhance site-specific management of assets. The

then assign metadata to an asset by entering text or making a selection in the custom
field.
Adding custom fields is optional.

1. From the Aurora Browse Launch page, click Asset Management Administration .
This requires that you log in as Aurora Browse administrator.
• Login: root -nb-srv\nbadmin
