Editing a Metadata File

If the metadata file you imported or created needs to be modified, you can directly modify its labels and properties.

After the metadata file is edited, the original metadata file will be overwritten. To avoid data loss, you are advised to save a copy of the metadata file before editing it.

Procedure

  1. GES provides two methods for you to edit a metadata file on the Data Management page.
    • Click the metadata file name. On the metadata details page, click Edit.
    • Click Edit in the Operation column of the target metadata file.

  2. On the editing page:
    • On the Manual tab, you can add labels and properties, change label names, and sort properties by clicking Up and Down.
    • On the Visual tab, you can drag a vertex to the canvas to add a label, or click a vertex or edge to modify the label information.
  3. After the modification is complete, click OK.
