Add a metadata attribute to an element

You can modify element attributes to provide it with metadata.

You must check out the map or topic first and have it ready for edit.

Note: You can add a subject scheme map to limit an attribute's preset list values for selection. For more information on creating a subject scheme map, see IXIA CCMS Desktop User Guide.

To add a metadata attribute to an element:

  1. Select an element.
  2. Right-click the element tag and then select Edit Attributes.
  3. In the resulting Attributes side panel that automatically opens, select the attribute you want to set from the Attributes dropdown list.
  4. Select a single value from the Value dropdown list.
    Note: For some fields, you can enter your own values.
  5. Click Add.
    The attribute is now set for the selected element.
