Use the Add Metadata dialog from browsers to add metadata to all
types of entities. The added metadata can be saved to an *.hm
file.
Restriction: Export of metadata to solver decks is
currently not supported.
Right-click on an entity or entity folder and select Add
Metadata to invoke the dialog.
Adding metadata by selecting a folder adds metadata to all the entities under the
selected Metadata. Selecting a single entity or multiple entities of the same type
adds metadata to the selected entities.
Alternatively, metadata can be added from the Entity Editor
as well by right-clicking on the Metadata category. Figure 1.
There are 3 types of metadata supported:
Double
Supports adding metadata with decimals.
Integer
Supports adding metadata with integers.
String
Supports adding metadata with alphanumeric characters.
Note: The same name with different case and names with just
numerical characters are not allowed.
Once the metadata is added, it is shown in the Entity Editor
under the Metadata category. Figure 2.
By right-clicking on the any metadata, it can be added as a browser column in the
supported entity views for bulk reviewing or editing.
An existing metadata can be applied to other entities of the same type from the
browser column. Figure 3.
An existing metadata can be removed/deleted using the Remove
option in the Entity Editor. Figure 4.
