Printing metadata

Having a printed copy of an item's metadata can be useful as an inventory of your organization's data holdings or as a reference to use when checking the quality of the item's attribute or feature data. When you print a copy of an item's metadata, it will print exactly as it appears.

  1. In the Catalog window, click the item whose metadata you want to print.
  2. View the item's metadata.
  3. Click the Print button Print Metadata in the Description tab.

    The Print dialog box appears showing the appropriate settings for your default printer.

    Print an item's metadata from the Description tab

  4. Set the printer properties and determine how you want your metadata to be printed.
  5. Click Print.

    The metadata is printed.
