Add Metadata Field
The dialog for creating or editing a custom metadata field for your organization.
A metadata field (internally called a "tenant prop") is a custom field defined by the organization itself, used to attach organization-specific information to files (e.g. a Project select list or a geo-link). The Add Metadata Field dialog (titled Metadatenfeld bearbeiten / "Edit metadata field" when editing) opens via the Feld hinzufügen ("Add field") button, or by clicking an existing field in the Benutzerdefinierte Metadaten ("Custom Metadata") tab of Data Studio. It contains:
- The
NameandBeschreibung (optional)(Description) text fields - A field type selector shown as icon tiles (e.g. text, number, date, single select, multi select, geo-link, …)
- For the single- or multi-select types: an Auswahloptionen ("Options") section with an
Optionbutton to add more options - For the geo-link type: a Geo-Link-Einstellungen ("Geo-link settings") section with an optional caption, a URL template (with insertable placeholders for other fields), and an optional coordinate transformation that converts raw coordinates from two number fields into map coordinates
- A Sichtbarkeit ("Visibility") section that can gate the field on conditions referencing other fields (
hat einen Wert/ has a value,hat keinen Wert/ has no value,ist gleich/ equals,ist nicht gleich/ not equals), so it's only shown under certain conditions - The
Abbrechen(Cancel) andErstellen(Create) /Speichern(Save) buttons, plusLöschen(Delete) when editing
The field type can only be changed in a limited way after creation: switching is only possible between single select and multi select, all other types are fixed once created.
