Metadata Section in Content Snippets

If you need any help in filling out this wiki page, please visit our ILIAS Community FAQ. And please complete the metadata information in the right column after having created the page.

1 Initial Problem

When content snippets are extensively used inside learning modules (e.g. for technical trainings) it would be very useful to be in the condition to classify and search using metadata.

2 Conceptual Summary

Metadata should be added to "Content Snippet" object, and metadata should behave exactly the same as per other media elements, such as videos and images.

3 User Interface Modifications

3.1 List of Affected Views

in a media pool both snippet objects and, for example, images, can be stored. As you can see in the screenshots, we created a test media pool with a snippet and an image. The image has the METADATA tab that allow to edit and contains metadata.
The snippet, on the other side, has no metadata tab.

3.2 User Interface Details

See above.

3.3 New User Interface Concepts

No new KS elements required.

4 Technical Information

No technical issues.

5 Privacy Information

No privacy implications.

6 Security Implications

No security implications.

10 Implementation

Before custom metadata can be added to a Content SNippet, it must be enabled in Administration » Metadata » Cutom Metadata-Tab for Media Pools.

After enabling Custom Metadata for Media Pools, click Edit Field in the right column and add as many fields as you want. Make sure that the Searchable checkbox is selected for the metadata fields.

Only now Custom Metadata can be used in Mediapool or in Content Snippets.

Now create a media pool and activate the Custom Metadata checkbox in the Additional Features section of the settings.

• Now you can create a content snippet. Design the Content Snippet and then open the Metadata tab.
• Click on the Custom Metadata subtab.
• Fill in the custom metadata fields.

Open the Content tab of the Media Pool and switch to the All Media Objects sub-tab. In the filter, the custom metadata for which the Searchable option has been activated are created. You can now filter for a content snippet.

Managing both global and local record sets for Media Objects and Content Snippets.
