Fields created for the site metadata

catalog

manager can only be edited by site admins.

For this reason, fields with vocabularies (listed below) should be applied with caution. When applied site-wide, they can inadvertently curtail the creation of rich vocabularies for these fields at a space level.

Fields with controlled vocabularies:

  • Keyword fields
  • Label fields
  • Dropdown fields
  • Tree fields

Good to know: Chorus comes prepackaged with some fields for your use. These are listed at About metadata fields.

First, open the site metadata catalog: 

1. Click Admin at the top of Chorus and sign in to elevate.

2. Choose Presets > Metadata from the Admin menu. The Metadata Manager for Site will open. Proceed to edit the metadata.

In the Panels Available section, you will find two tabs:

- Site: this is where the local space panels will show

- Shared: this is where any panel shared by another space or a user will show

1. Choose the Fields tab of the metadata catalog modal Click the Panel Builder button.

2. Click the Plus icon to add a field. A New Field modal will open. Click the New field button.
