Creating Multi-Fields for Metadata
Multiple values can be entered into multi-fields on a metadata form.
Multi-fields cannot be used for title or description formatting, and in yuuvis® RAD client, they cannot be used for sorting hit lists. Prepopulation features for multi-fields are not evaluated for the creation of new objects.
Create a field of type Set [String], Set [StringEx], Set [CatalogEntry], or Set [ID] in order to create a multi-field for a metadata form in yuuvis® RAD client.
To create multi-fields in a project schema, follow these steps:
-
Open the Projects area via the View ribbon tab.
Projects are shown in the Projects area with the project file name in the hierarchical structure tree.
-
Double-click an object type in the project schema.
A tab view will open in the workspace for the object type.
-
Click Fields in the view area.
An overview table of the object type fields and their properties appears.
- Create a field of type Set [String], Set [StringEx], Set [CatalogEntry], or Set [ID].
- Save the project and deploy the project schema on the server.
Set [CatalogEntry]: Specify catalog
Set [ID]: Optional: Specify classification.
These fields on forms must not be assigned the Multi-row property.
The new multi-field can be added to a form. Multiple values can be assigned to the field in yuuvis® RAD client.
In addition to the technical name, multi-fields also have a technical element name that is used for unique referencing, for example, in scripts.
