How to create a metadata item with a single item creation wizard

Note: For this guide, a Data Element will be chosen as the required metadata item type, but the basic procedure is consistent across all item types.

1. Select either 'Create Metadata' from the dashboard side panel, or the creation tool from the registry header (followed by 'See all' if your desired metadata type does not appear in the dropdown).

1. Select 'Create' from the subheading that matches the item type you require.

1. Add the mandatory and desired information to the following tabs of the item creation page, as necessary:

   • Definition: The fields on this tab help to identify and define the metadata item

   • Names & References: This tab is entirely optional, but can be used to give extra context to the item

   • Components: This tab is entirely optional, but can be used to give extra context to the item. Components can also be added pose-creation

   • Slots: These fields are optional but can be used to annotate the item with additional attributes.

1. Select 'Create item' when all mandatory fields have been satisfied, and you have entered all of the desired optional content.

1. Your metadata item is now present in the registry.
