The scope of information you can attach to media in Mandala is much wider than other media storage applications. Metadata tracking in Audio-Video uses the PBCore schema. Public Broadcasting in the US designed the schema specifically for sound and video. This lets people understand and interpret media details across institutions. You can find out more at pbcore.org

You can view metadata fields in the “Details” of a project, and edit them in the “Edit” tab.

Tracking Workflow 

Large archival projects require tracking several tasks or modifications for each file in the collection. In the “Details” for the project, you’ll see several options for workflow tracking, including several generic fields (for example, “Media Problem #1”). You can assign specific issues to these generic fields internally, though you cannot change their names in the “Details.”
