Create metadata record using System UI

There are two methods for creating a metadata record in an organisation using the system's user interface.

Method 1

Navigate to Metadata and click on the Add metadata record button.

This will take you to the form that needs to be completed in order to create metadata record. Fill in all the necessary information about the record. All fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory. The information you add will become the information that is available on the site about the record you are adding. When adding the metadata record thumbnail, make sure the image URL is a public image link and not a private one. Remember to also make sure that the image ratio is 1:1 for the best results.
