If you require users in your organization to fill in certain metadata fields when publishing learning objects, you must create or edit a custom metadata view in Metadata Administration. Set this custom view as the default metadata view in the d2l.Tools.LOR.Publish.MetadataView configuration variable to ensure users encounter this view and fill in the fields you designate as required. You can only enforce metadata fields for custom views, since built-in system views are not editable. However, your custom view can inherit or copy fields from a built-in system view (such as Asset Metadata), making it identical to the built-in system view and also editable.
- From the
Admin Tools menu, click Metadata Administration.
- Do one of the following:
- To enforce metadata tagging in a new custom metadata view, click New View.
- To enforce metadata tagging in an existing custom metadata view, from the View Name column, click the view name.
- In the Layout tab, click the field you want to enforce metadata tagging for. You can only enforce metadata tagging for child metadata fields.
- In the Field Restrictions section, choose Customize Field Restrictions.
- In the Basic Interface Display section, choose Display in Basic Interface.
- In the Restrictions area, choose Required and click Save.
- From the Admin Tools menu, click Config Variable Browser.
- Expand Tools > LOR > Publish and click MetadataView.
- In the Org Value field, click the
Edit value icon.
- From the drop-down list, select Metadata Administration.
- Select the custom metadata view you just edited or created.
- Click Save.
