To Set Options for Metadata

You can select the metadata standard you want to work with, set template options, specify the precision to which the metadata measures your map’s latitude/longitude values, and indicate whether or not you want the metadata for a data source to be updated as soon as you select it in the Metadata Viewer.

To set metadata options

1. Open the Metadata Viewer.
2. On the The Metadata Viewer toolbar, click Options.
3. In the Metadata Options dialog box, on the Template tab, do any of the following:
   • Under Metadata Standard, select a standard.
   • Import a template.
   • Set a default template.
   • Preview a template.
   • Deactivate a template.
   • Export a template.
   • Rename a template.
   • Remove a template.
4. Click the Preference tab. Set the latitude and longitude precision.

   Enter the number of digits (0 - 10) that display after the decimal point for your reported latitude and longitude values. Both values are 6 by default.

5. If desired, select the Auto Update check box.

   When Auto Update is selected, metadata is updated as soon as you select it in the Metadata Viewer.

6. Click OK.
