* Understand the Requirement:
* The customer wants to add a field to the properties of all existing and new assets in AEM Assets to capture the asset rating.
* The review team needs to fill in the ratings after the assets are uploaded.
* Metadata Schemas Tool:
* The Metadata Schemas tool in AEM allows you to define metadata schemas that can be applied to assets.
* This tool helps in customizing the metadata forms that appear in the properties page of assets.
* Create a New Schema:
* To add a new property (asset rating), you need to create or update an existing metadata schema.
* Navigate to Tools > Assets > Metadata Schemas in AEM.
* Select the default schema or create a new schema if necessary.
* Add the Rating Property:
* Within the selected schema, add a new field for the rating property.
* Define the field type (e.g., dropdown, text field) based on how you want the review team to input the ratings.
* Configure the field properties, such as label, description, and validation rules.
* Apply the Schema:
* Apply this metadata schema to the folders where assets are stored. This ensures that all assets within these folders will have the new rating property.
* For new assets, the rating property will appear automatically when viewing or editing properties.
* Review Team Process:
* After the assets are uploaded, the review team can access the properties of each asset and fill in the rating.
* The rating property is now part of the asset's metadata and can be used for sorting, searching, and filtering assets.
