About logging templates
When you select an entry in a list box, properties that you can change for that entry appear
to the right of the list box. For all entries, you can change their labels (i.e. the names that
identify features in the Annotate workspace); for entries in the lists of asset types and event
types, you can choose a different metadata type.
You can change the order the different metadata or event types appear in the template by
using the arrow buttons to move the selected type up or down. The ‘x’ button deletes the
type from the template.
Annotation buttons for event types
An event type is assigned to an asset through an annotation button on the Event Logging
panel in the Annotate workspace. When including event types in a template, you organize
them in groups, with related event types belonging to the same group.
For each event type, you also set a property for the type of button that is to represent it on
the Metadata panel. An Annotation button can be one of two types: an Event button
assigns an event type to a segment that has preset boundary points (in- and out-points); an
Open Event button marks the boundary points and assigns an event type to a segment.
As you build groups of event types, SmartClient displays the resulting arrangement of
annotation buttons in a Preview panel in the Admin workspace.
