Viewing and Setting the Metadata Override Status
The Metadata Override Settings view lets you manage how the Archive Provider handles
metadata when an asset is archived more than once. This view appears only when the Interplay
Administrator is logged on to an Archive Engine.
By default, the Archive Provider overrides the archived metadata for an Avid asset if you archive
the asset again. You can use the Metadata Override feature in Interplay Access to disable
metadata override on archived folders, or re-enable it if it is disabled. There is currently no visual
indication in Interplay Access whether metadata override is enabled or disabled on a folder.
You can view the metadata override status in the Metadata Override Settings view in the
Interplay Administrator. You can also use this view to enable or disable metadata override for a
folder.
To view whether metadata override is enabled:
1. In the Site Settings section of the Interplay Administrator window, click the Metadata
Override Settings icon.
A folder tree displays the archive database.
- Folders that have metadata override enabled are marked with a blue check mark icon.
- Folders with metadata override disabled are marked with a red x icon.
- Folders marked with a gray icon indicate the inherited setting.
Folders with metadata override disabled are listed in the Locations window.
