Create a custom metadata field definition

To create a custom metadata field definition from the Asset Manager web:

Select Edit.
Go below to the Custom section and select Add custom field. The Add custom metadata dialog opens.
Select the Select metadata dropdown menu.
Select + New custom metadata.

Note

The + New custom metadata option only appears if you are the Owner, Manager, or the Asset Manager Admin.

Enter a unique metadata name.
Choose a Field type from the eight available types.
