Editing Metadata for Several Assets at Once

You can edit the metadata for several assets at one time in a spreadsheet view on the search results or browse content screen if you have Edit permission. For help with metadata fields, see "Metadata" and "Asset Type"

1. Do a browse or search so the assets show up in one results list. You must be in Table View. If not, click the Switch to Table View () icon to display the table with thumbnail images and columns of metadata
2. On the right, click the gear () icon to change the column headers (metadata) to view in the results. Check or un-check the items you want to view and click Close. Note: You can sort a column to place "null" or no values at the top.
3. On the right, click the Spreadsheet Editor () icon.



4. Make any additions or changes as needed.
• You can click an item in a column and drag (copy) the value down over several cells. Note: This only applies if the item you want is available in the beginning cell.
• Items in simple drop-down lists can be selected for each cell or select in one cell and drag (copy) down over several cells.
• Text entry data can be entered in each cell.
5. At the bottom, click Save.

TIP: Open a second instance of Nuxeo in a different browser window so you can view the images in one window as you edit the metadata in the other.
