D
ATA FIELDS?
Text-based data fields, along with a thumbnail image and keywords,
form the complete data record for each file you add to an ImageAXS
Pro collection.
When you create a new collection, you select the number and type of
text fields in each record by choosing a collection format (see
“Choosing a Collection Format” on page 5-3).
Text fields should contain information that applies to all of the files in
a collection (such as “Photographer's Name” for a collection of
photos). You can relabel the fields in a collection at any time (see
“Changing Field Labels and Hiding Fields” on page 3-15).
