Accessing the metadata for selected datasets

The Explore Bathymetry tool allows you to define filters based on the metadata values associated with the bathymetry datasets. You can also update the extended metadata values within the Explore Bathymetry window using the Edit Properties tool.

Примечание:

Any updates made to the extended metadata fields through the Edit Properties dialog box could potentially affect the current bathymetry dataset filter defined in the Explore Bathymetry window.

1. Запустите ArcMap.
2. Click Customize > Toolbars > Bathymetry on the main menu to activate the Bathymetry toolbar if necessary.
3. Click the Explore Bathymetry button on the Bathymetry toolbar.

   The Explore Bathymetry window appears. The right side of the window lists all bathymetry datasets in the active BIS geodatabase.

   
4. To access the metadata for all datasets currently listed in the Filtered Datasets list, click the Edit Properties button at the top of the Explore Bathymetry window.

   Примечание:

   You can choose multiple datasets using the Shift or Ctrl keys. To access and edit metadata for only a particular dataset or group of datasets, right-click a dataset or a group and click Edit Properties or Edit Properties for Selected.

   The Edit Properties dialog box appears.

   

   Примечание:

   The All Datasets parent node is chosen by default. Any properties or metadata values that are shared by all datasets under this node will be reflected in the tab view. If values differ for the datasets in the dataset tree view, the value for that property or parameter will be blank.

5. Click one of the datasets in the gridded data tree view to highlight it.

   The previously defined general, point display, collection, extended, and internal metadata values are listed and viewable for the chosen dataset.

   Примечание:

   You can also choose the All Datasets node or a dataset's parent folder to batch edit multiple datasets.

6. Optionally update the applicable metadata fields on the Extended Metadata tab.

   Примечание:

   General, point display, collection, and internal metadata values are read-only.

7. Click Apply.

   The metadata updates are applied to the chosen dataset.

8. Optionally choose a different dataset listed in the gridded data tree view.
9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 to update additional metadata fields as necessary.
