When adding images to projects one at a time, the Media Editor and a preview of the image are displayed. You can also open the Media Editor by double-clicking the thumbnail display image of items in your project spreadsheet.

1. To enter metadata into the Media Editor fields, type directly into the text boxes.

   Multiple entries within a field will be treated as a single string unless separated with a semicolon and a space. The only required field is the Title field. Items without titles cannot be saved to your project. Creating a title will not change the original file name. Green highlighted field names indicate that the field is searchable by the CONTENTdm search client. Searchable fields are established by your designated Collection Administrator.

   

2. Click Save to save the item and information.

Project additions, updates, and deletions are saved automatically when you exit the project.

JPEGs and GIFs can be previewed within the Acquisition Station by double-clicking on the thumbnail images. Other media types such as video or audio can be previewed by double-clicking on the thumbnail image then launching a Web browser from the preview window.
