Q: Upload window - setting order of metadata groups

reconfiguring a FCS...

At the upload screen, I know how to pick the default Metadata Set (pull down above the entry screen) but I am trying to reorder/remove the Metadata Groups to the left of the entry fields. Right now the "Asset" group is at the top.

Suggestions?

Thanks

FCS 1.5.2, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Unfortunately, if you give a custom metadata group higher priority than the Asset group, the asset windows render all screwy.

    In the Administration window, in that Metadata Group, you can reorder the list easily in that window.  Highlight a specific group in the left hand column, use the up/down arrow buttons to rearrange the order.

    I guess I needed to rephrase my question a bit. I knew about the order but I was seeing extra stuff.

     

    Here was the problem:

     

    For uploading I have a Metadata set called DaMaster. Within that Metadata set was only one group called DaMaster_Info. So I assumed that when a user would go to upload the only field they would see for data entry were the ones called out in the DaMaster_Info metadata group.

     

    But when they get the screen they see Asset, DaMaster_Info and Versioning. I don't mind the extra ones but just wanted to have DaMaster_Info first.

     

    I ended up changing the Display Priority to 0 and that got me where I needed to be.

     

    Thanks for your response.
