Metadata field information for Assets Server

Working with metadata can be done in many ways:

• Metadata can be included in queries by using their internal name.

Example: The following query searches for files where the value of the Usage Rights field is "Rights managed": usageRights:"Rights managed"

• Metadata fields can have user permissions assigned.

Note: Supported fields are those where index=un_tokenized OR analyzer=pureLowerCase analyzer.

• Metadata fields can be stored and indexed.

• Metadata fields can be used as a custom metadata field.

The Metadata field information page

All this technical information can be looked up in the metadata field information page of Assets Server.

To access this page, do one of the following:

• Enter the following URL in a Web browser:

<Assets Server URL:>/plugins/internal/assetinfo_report/index.html

• Access the page through the Management Console.

The field information is grouped per category.
