The Edit Metadata page displays. The metadata fields you see on this page depend on the file type, and whether or not record types have been associated with the file. The metadata is divided into sections, with additional sections dependant on if a record type has been associated with the item. Every file includes the Record section, which is a default set of basic metadata fields.
