Arrange custom metadata in Segment Template

You can add and organize metadata fields on your Segment Template to suit your workflow requirements.
  1. In GV STRATUS Control Panel, click Core | Metadata | Custom Metadata.



  2. For Entity Type, select STRATUS Segment.
  3. Click Add. The Add Field dialog box opens.



  4. Make settings to create the desired metadata field, described as follows:
    Setting or button Description
    Name The name of the custom metadata field you are creating. This name is displayed in the GV STRATUS application.
    Type The type of custom metadata field. When a type of field is used in the GV STRATUS application, it has characteristics as follows:
    • Boolean: A checkbox.
    • Date: A drop-down calendar from which dates can be selected. Text can also be entered in the field.
    • Number: A field in which numbers only can be entered, up to 9 digits.
    • Large Number: A field in which numbers only can be entered, up to 18 digits.
    • Text - 50 Character Limit: A drop-down list of values, if configured. Text up to 50 characters can also be entered.
    • Text - 256 Character Limit: A drop-down list of values, if configured. Text up to 256 characters can also be entered.
    • Text - 2000 Character Limit: A drop-down list of values, if configured. Text up to 2000 characters can also be entered.
    • Text - Unlimited: A drop-down list of values, if configured. Text of any length can also be entered.
    • Tags: A field in which tags can be entered as text, with commas separating individual tags.
    • Rating: A row of selectable stars.
    • Timecode: A field in which timecode values can be entered as numbers and adjusted with up/down arrows.
    Note: To optimize GV STRATUS application search performance, restrict the number of characters allowed in a field. Fields with a large number of characters slow search results.
    Values If the field type is Text, the following controls configure a list of values for the field:
    • Plus sign: Opens the Add Field Value dialog box in which a value is entered.
    • Minus sign: Removes a value from the list.
    • Up arrow: Moves a value up the list.
    • Down arrow: Moves a value down the list.
    Add On Add Field dialog box. Adds the field to the list in Metadata settings while the Add Field dialog box remains open.
    Close On Add Field dialog box. Closes the Add Field dialog box without adding the field currently configured.
    Update On Modify Field dialog box. Updates the changes to the field.
    Cancel On Modify Field dialog box. Cancels changes to the field.
  5. Repeat steps to add multiple metadata fields as desired.
  6. Click Inspector Tabs.



  7. For Entity Type, select STRATUS Segment.
  8. To add a section of settings to your Segment Template, in the right-most column head click +. The Add Tab dialog box opens.
  9. Enter a name for the section you are adding and click OK. A column is added for your new section.
  10. In each column, select the metadata fields to appear in that section.
  11. Drag and drop added columns to arrange the order of sections on your Segment Template. The position of the General column is fixed and cannot be moved. The General section appears at the top of the Segment Template. Left-to-right column position corresponds to top-to-bottom section position on the Segment Template.
  12. Drag and drop rows to arrange the order of metadata fields on your Segment Template, within the sections for which they are selected.
  13. Click Save.
  14. Restart the GV STRATUS application.
  15. In Inspector, click Actions | New | Segment Template. A Segment Template opens and displays your arranged metadata fields.
