Asset Metadata

Metadata is optional information that may be attached to Assets.

The purpose of metadata is to describe additional information about the Asset that cannot be described with properties like Name, Tags, Collections, etc. All metadata fields are composed of key: value pairs (e.g. Author: John Doe), which can then be searched by in the Library.

To edit an Asset’s metadata, navigate to the Asset’s Detail page and click the Metadata section. The ‘Add Entry’ button will show you a list of default metadata field options, or you may opt to enter your own using the ‘Custom Entry’ button. Click Submit to save your changes.

Asset metadata

Asset metadata can be viewed in both Asset Previews and the Asset Detail page (under the ‘details’ section) if available.

Admin accounts can set a warning for Users downloading Assets that contain copyright/description/license metadata in the Client Profile => settings => upload/download settings.
