Hi All,
I have a requirement where i need to allow the author to select the type of schema he wants to apply for asset after uploading.We have 2 metadata models.Author will choose which one to apply during asset upload. Within same folder i may have few asset with Model A and few assets with Model B.
I know we can create custom schema using Mime type. But in my case same mime type may get different metadata schemas. I tried contextual metadata but it removes all other tabs and give only option to include one tab.
In my case i want all the default schema tabs like Basic,Advanced,IPTC,IPTC Extension,Camera Data + Tab B or Tab B.
Any idea on how to achieve this.
Regards,
Ganthi

It certainly seems like a tricky one
Lets start by listing down the key requirements:
The restrictions:
My opinion:
From above, I would question on what basis are the folders structured in DAM. If the author knows what metadata schema he wants to apply to the asset when uploading, then why not create a folder structure in DAM based on the two metadata schemas.
Speaking generally, folders are a way to group assets together. And I understand that means if you go with the above recommendation of creating a folder structure in DAM based on the two metadata schemas, you will lose logic with which the folder structure was created. However, there are other features available to group assets, such as Tags or Collections. Tags can be structured in pretty much the same taxonomy as folder structure in DAM.
This way, you would be able able to apply metadata schema and structure your assets, all using OOTB features without customisation.
Hello @Ganthimathi_R ,
I think for the use-case rather than going with multiple custom metadata schemas approach which is not possible to apply for the same folder, you can probably identify the fields/tab needs to be shown for the certain user group and hide or show it based on the user details.
Thanks,
Anil.
