Use the Metadata Management list to create, name, organize, and activate the MA server’s set of 25 metadata tags. The User/Administrator can name these tags to match any metadata standard or job required.

Two examples are below:
Simple Metadata Workflow
A simple metadata workflow is when the same set of metadata tags are used, in its entirety, for all projects: from production and through
An example is a wedding videographer who records events that have identical metadata requirements.
Complex Metadata Workflow
A complex metadata workflow is when there are different types of projects that require different sets of metadata. In such a case, the User/Administrator creates a master set of all tags and then enables project specific subsets of the master list. The User/Administrator may need to frequently enable/disable tags, depending on the content being ingested.
An example is a video news company that records a variety of event types: business, crime, interviews, sports, etc. When collecting and ingesting content from a variety of events, it is more efficient to use only the metadata tags that apply to each event.
