  • Dropdown field: for metadata fields controlled by a list of value-pairs defined in submission-form.xml.
  • Pop-up tree selector: for metadata fields controlled by Hierarchical Taxonomies or Controlled Vocabularies.
  • Autocomplete field: for authority-controlled metadata fields with authority keys.
Note

A metadata field could be configured to use controlled authority values in two ways:

  • Firstly, if the metadata field is globally configured to work with a ChoiceAuthority.
  • Secondly, if the metadata is configured to use any of these controlled fields in the submission form defined for the owning collection of the item being edited.

If both options are defined, the first option - the configuration defined for the ChoiceAuthority - will be used to obtain the controlled values.

See Authority Control of Metadata Values for more information.

The following sections show how these fields are presented when adding a new metadata. These fields will also be displayed similarly when editing an authority-controlled metadata field.
