Editing Metadata

yuuvis® RAD client 10.x »

Metadata is data that describes the properties and values of a business object in yuuvis® RAD. You can securely and quickly store, find, and identify business objects in the yuuvis® RAD filing system via this metadata.

Entries for metadata are made and maintained via fields in metadata forms. When creating objects you can edit metadata in yuuvis® RAD client in the in-tray (see The In-tray) and in the object view (see The Object View) in the Metadata aspect area.

You need appropriate rights to edit the metadata in the Metadata aspect area. Furthermore, the object must not be locked by other users for metadata processing (see Unlocking Document Files).

If two more users are editing the metadata of an object at the same time, the changes that are saved first will be transferred to the metadata form. yuuvis® RAD client shows the user a dialog box with the following options when saving the changes made by the other user:

You can open metadata forms to edit them in the following ways:

Aspect areas can be hidden by the administrator. As a result, the functions described may not be available to you.
