The drop-down list and Add Record button disappear when you add the last available
record in a template.
Setting Up the Default Metadata Tab View
Each time SmartClient loads a video clip, the Metadata tab displays information in a default
view - i.e. in selected sections that may be expanded or collapsed. You can define the
default view in the view-options menu, which appears when you right-click the Metadata
tab:
The menu lists all the sections that can display standard or business metadata for the
current video clip.
For each section, one of three view options may be selected: to show the section expanded;
to show the section collapsed; or to hide the section. The options are represented by three
columns of check boxes; icons above the columns (see the above illustration) indicate the
options.
To set up the Metadata tab view:
1 Right-click the Metadata tab to display the view-options menu.
2 Select a check box for each section: to show the section expanded or collapsed; or to
hide the section.
SmartClient refreshes the tab each time you make a selection.
3 Move your mouse pointer clear of the menu to make the menu disappear.
Working with Categories
In an iTX system, video clips may be associated with - or "tagged to" - one or more
categories.
A category gives a way of labelling a video clip to provide an indication of the clip content.
Video clips with a particular type of content are associated with the same category (News,
Sport, Movies, etc.). Specifying a category in a search filter can help you find a clip you want
to work with.
