Define Metadata for a content item

Define the Metadata for a content item generated from the authoring template.

In most cases, you should specify default values for the following options when creating an authoring template:

• Workflow

• Access control

When selecting default options such as a default workflow, or default categories, you can select items that not all users may have access to. This could mean that if users are allowed to change a default workflow or category, that once changed, the user will not be able to re-select the default item as they do not have access to it.

• Entering identification information
  Specify identification information for the current item, including the name and title for the item and the list of authors and owners associated with the item. The identification section is common to all item forms.

• Entering profile information
  Profile information used to identify the current item, such as the categories to which the item belongs and any keywords that you want to associate with the item.

• Select a workflow
  The workflow section is only visible on item types that have been enabled to use a workflow. Only content items are enabled by default.

• Granting users or groups access to an item
  Specify the access control settings for the current item to designate which users have access to an item and their level of access. The access section is common to all item forms.
