![]() So, you just check these custom metadata fields and then you have them as columns here in the outliner. Go to the outliner, and if you click on the little arrow at the right side of the column titles, you see the list of metadata information that you can add.Īnd now you also see our custom metadata that we just created, and not only the standard metadata information that comes with the project by default. As we saw before in the project settings window, Scrivener also let’s you display this information as columns in the outliner. Using Custom Metadataīut this is not the only place where you have access to your custom metadata. The text field gives you a text entry box, obviously, the checkbox let’s you check or uncheck an item, the list give you a selection of custom defined list entries, and the date let’s you choose day and time from a calendar. Now, you can add different kinds of information here, depending on what kinds of fields you added. If, after having created new custom metadata fields in the project settings, you click “OK”, you see that these custom fields that we just created, now show up in the metadata section of the inspector. I’m just filling this with example metadata in order to show you how they look like and what you can do with them. Let’s create one of each, and see what they do. So, let’s give this field a title.Īnd below the title field you see that there is a dropdown selection that let’s you choose what type of metadata field you want this to be. ![]() We’ll have a look at that later on.įor now, let’s click the “+” button to create a new metadata field, and then a new text entry field apperas in this top area where is says “Metadata Title”. You also see here that Scrivener says that you can add custom metadata as columns in the outliner. Now, in this section, at the top, we can define and delete metadata fields with the “+” and “-” buttons at the top. On the left side you see different project setting sections, and if you access this window from the metadata tab in the inspector, the metadata section will already be selected. You can access the project settings also from the menu if you go to “Project – Project Settings”. This brings us to the “project settings” window. To define custom metadata for this document, click the “gear” icon on the right side of this section. Then, if you go a little further down, you see the section that says “Custom Metadata”. Then, below, you see if that document is included in the compile and what section type it is.įor now, you don’t need to worry about these two settings, they are important in the compile process. Here, Scrivener shows you when you created the current document you’re in, and when you last modified it. In the metadata tab you see a section with “general metadata” at the top. Then just click the “i” icon in the toolbar and it opens up. In case you can’t see the inspector it’s probably hidden. ![]() Go to the inspector and open the third tab, which is the metadata tab. You can also define your own metadata fields if you want to store additional information that is directly connected to – or rather directly stores with – your document. ![]() These are things like the creation date, if that document will be included in the compile, what label and status it has, and many more things.īut you are not restricted to using only the pre-defined metadata information that Scrivener gives you. As you might be aware already, Scrivener saves a whole lot information with every document that you have in the binder apart from the content of the document itself.
