Curator version supported from this article: 4.1
Curator can be configured with hierarchical metadata that organises information into a nested structure, each level providing more specific details. Using location as an example, hierarchical metadata might look like this:
Hierarchical Metadata Example:
Location
Continent
Country
State/Province
City
Neighborhood
Street
Building
Here's how this might be structured with actual data:
Continent: North America
Country: United States
State/Province: California
City: San Francisco
Neighborhood: Mission District
Street: Valencia Street
Building: 123 Valencia Street
An example of what this could look like when logging assets is shown below:
When logging, this can save time by ensuring that metadata options only display the relevant information in relation to the previous selection.
Example: When Apple is selected, Curator will only show relevant options for Apple devices.
With hierarchical metadata applied, you can also batch edit multiple assets, applying dependent metadata to multiple assets when they are selected together with an asset that has parent metadata set.
