DC 5.7 Add a new metadata group

Create a metagroup with needed fields

First of all let's create a group that will contain all your needed fields. Let's assume you want a metagroup in which you want to note the last changes of an asset.

• Go to System tools → Metadata → Shared. From there, press on the Add button and create a new metagroup.

Configure the metagroup

1. Navigate to the created group and press the Add button.
2. A pop-up window will appear where you will have to complete with the Name of the field and the Field type.
   

Assign created metagroup to the metadata editor

1. Once the above steps have been successfully completed, navigate to System tools → Metadata → Asset → Shared and select All asset types.
2. Press the Add button and add a new metagroup (that will act as a subgroup – see /wiki/spaces/DD/pages/42303737) and assign it to Last Changes metagroup. Select from the dropdown menu Metagroup.
3. The created metagroup will show up in the middle panel. Select it and configure it as needed.
