How can I add a clickable link to a Metadata field in the Uploader?

Add clickable links to Metadata fields in the Uploader for additional guidance or resources

You can add a URL to the Description of a Metadata Entry to provide users with additional instructions, reference materials, or other useful resources while they are completing Asset metadata.

Once added, HIVO automatically detects the URL and displays itas a clickable link in the Description of the corresponding Metadata field when users reach the Asset Details step in the Uploader. The link opens in a new browser tab, so users can view the resource without leaving their upload.

How to add a link

🔹 Step 1: Go to Metadata Settings

Go to Client Profile → Settings → Metadata Settings.

🔹 Step 2: Find the Metadata Entry

• Find the Metadata Entry where you want the link to appear.

• Each Metadata Entry has its own Description, so you can provide a different link for each Entry where required.

🔹 Step 3: Add the link

• Enter or paste the URL into the Description field.

• For example, you might link to:

  • Metadata guidelines or instructions.

  • A reference Asset or document in HIVO.

  • An external resource users need when completing the field.

Finally, save the Metadata settings.

👉 Note: You can add, replace, or update the link at any time by editing the Description of the corresponding Metadata Entry in Metadata Settings.
