Importing Entities

Using the import functionality, you can automatically create an entity by importing its YAML file that contains the settings and properties of that specific entity.

For example:

Metadata:
    EntityTypes:
        -Trailer:
            abstract: falsebase
            Type: "title"
            baseSubType: null
            extendTypeName: null
            attributes:
                - Parent:
                    groupName: null
                    required: false
                    localizable: false
                    general: true
                    type: "Reference"
                    attributes:
                    entityTypeName: "Movie"

To import one or more entities, perform the following steps:

1. Open the Metadata Settings, Title menu and select the Classification tab.

   

2. Select Other actions (…) and click Import. The Add Media Item window is displayed.

   

3. Click to browse or drag and drop a YAML file containing entities and their properties.
   Note: The filename must be unique.

4. Click Add. Once processed, the entity type is created and displayed in the list on the Classification tab.

Exporting Entities

Using the export functionality, you can automatically generate a YAML file that contains the settings and properties of the entity you want to export.

To export one or more entities, perform the following steps:

1. Select the check box on the left side of the entity type.
2. Click Export.
3. A YAML file is generated and automatically downloaded to your device.
