DC 6.0 Relation Between metagroups and subgroups
- Rasmus Hjelmberg Duemose Hansen
Once you have configured your metadata editor, you can add new metadata groups completely customized to suit your solution.
Before going through the process of creating a new meta-group you will have to understand the logic behind it.
Image: Please note that some field types in the image above have been deprecated.
In the All Asset Types table you can find all the subgroups that are part of the metadata editor. The subgroups have the FieldType set as metagroups. Each subgroup can be assigned to only one group. We don't support the assigning of multiple metagroups to the same subgroup.
You can only define the metagroup to be iterative, i.e. the subgroup doesn't contain this definition.
Every group contains different field types. Those are described in the /wiki/spaces/DD/pages/42303745.
The groups are completely configurable for your needs and every time you add or remove a field, the subgroup from the All Asset Types will see the changes and will be automatically updated in the metadata editor. You can configure a group to contain all the fields you want to use for your assets e.g. including integers, strings, date times, and links.
