For example, if an element is supposed to contain an integer but instead a real number has been provided, the element's input control will have a red background. Or, the wrong type of value may have been provided for the element. A value may be mandatory in this metadata element with the current metadata style, but one hasn't been provided. If a metadata element has a red background, this indicates there is a problem with its value. These metadata styles include rules about the elements that are required to create metadata that complies with those standards. A help string appears at the bottom of the editor explaining what information is expected.Īll metadata styles provided with the current version of ArcGIS for Desktop, other than the Item Description style, are designed to support a specific metadata standard or profile. If you're ever unsure of what information to provide in a metadata element, hover the pointer over its input control. To set the minutes or seconds, click that portion of the time and type the appropriate number. Click the up and down arrows to set the hour, or click the hour and type the appropriate number using the 24-hour time notation. If the time the event occurred is significant, you can change the default time, 00:00:00. Click the year at the top of the calendar again to pick from a list of years. In the calendar, you can scroll through the months using the arrows or click the month and year at the top to pick from a list. A year, month, and day must be specified. It will open with today's date shaded gray. Click it to select an appropriate date using the calendar control.
To describe a relevant date or time period for an item, you'll see a calendar icon if a date isn't already stored in a metadata element. It can help you reread and edit your content. This gives you more room to type while still being able to see the rest of the content you've already provided. You can make any multiline text box bigger by clicking the shaded triangle on the bottom corner of the text box and drag it down until the text box is as big as you want it to be. When you provide a longer description, you may want more room to type.
If formatting has been added to an element's metadata content, it will be removed when the item's metadata is exported to an XML file that follows a standard metadata format. While text formatting may improve communication with other ArcGIS users, it isn't supported by any metadata standard. You will end up seeing these tags as text in the item's metadata. For example, do not type tags such as and around text to try to make it appear bold. HTML tags should never be typed directly into any element's text to provide formatting instructions.
