To Deactivate a Metadata Template

If you have applied a template to your metadata, but decide you do not want to use it, you can deactivate it. When you deactivate a metadata template, values that had come from the template are overwritten by values from the data source. Fields that are populated by values from the template, but that do not have corresponding values in the data source are cleared.

To deactivate a template

1. In the Metadata Viewer, click Options.
2. If the Use Template check box is selected, clear it.
3. Click OK.
4. Select the data source.
5. Click Update All.
6. Click Yes in the warning message that is displayed.

   The metadata is updated with values from the data source you selected.
