Metadata Profiles

Tap or click the AEM logo and navigate to Tools > Assets > Metadata Profiles, and then tap or click Create.

Enter a title for the Metadata Profile, for example Sample Metadata, and click Submit. The Edit Form for the Metadata Profile is displayed. 

Click a component and configure its properties in the Settings tab. For example, click the Description component and edit its properties.

Edit the following properties for the Description component:

• Field Label: The display name of the metadata property. It is only for the user reference.
• Map to Property: The value of this property provides the relative path/name to the asset node where it is saved in the repository. The value should always start with "./" because it indicates that the path is under the asset's node.

The value you specify for Map to property is stored as a property under the asset's metadata node. For example, if you specify ./jcr:content/metadata/dc:desc as the name of Map to property, AEM Assets stores the value dc:desc at the asset's metadata node.  

• Default Value: Use this property to add a default value for the metadata component. For example, if you specify "My description" then this value is assigned to the property dc:desc at the asset's metadata node.

(Optional) Add more components to the Edit Form from the Build Form tab, and configure their properties in the Settings tab. The following properties are available from the Build Form tab:
