Creating a new metadata favorite

Whenever you have a new attribute combination that you want to be populated in the feature-level metadata fields, you need to create a new metadata favorite. When you create a new metadata favorite, it will have the default values for the feature-level metadata fields. Once you create the metadata favorite, you will need to set the attributes of that favorite.

手順:
  1. Start ArcMap.

    If the ArcMap - Getting Started dialog box appears, you can open a new or existing map document. You can also check the Do not show this dialog box in the future check box and click Open.

  2. If necessary, load data in the map.
  3. On the main menu, click Customize Toolbars Production Editing.
  4. Click the Production Start Editing button Production Start Editing on the Production Editing toolbar.

  5. Click the Metadata tab on the Manage Features window.
  6. Right-click the Metadata tab and ensure that the Use FCT Metadata option is checked.
  7. Right-click the Metadata tab and click New Favorite.

    The New Feature Metadata Favorite dialog box appears.
