Set requirements for specific metadata fields

Administrators can set requirements for which metadata fields users should use when uploading content. As an administrator, you can assign each field the following statuses:

Required: Users must add metadata in this field.
Recommended: Users are encouraged to add metadata in this field.
No requirement: Users can add metadata in this field if they want to.
Hidden: Users will not see the metadata field at all.

Required field settings is a setting meant to help the user remember to add desired metadata, and is therefore only applied to manual uploads. We do not reject any imported content that are missing required metadata, such as content added via guest uploads, FTP imports, API imports, or other import methods.

Here's how to assign statuses to metadata fields:

Click on your profile picture at the top right corner.
Select My workspace.
Choose Metadata and then Metadata Fields.
Click Edit on the row where you want to change the status.
