This page describes how to use the Metadata Management Tool (MMT) to:
SIT environment: https://mmt.sit.earthdata.nasa.gov
UAT environment: https://mmt.uat.earthdata.nasa.gov
PROD environment: https://mmt.earthdata.nasa.gov
(see the Administrator for your provider, or contact the CMR OPS team support@earthdata.nasa.gov)
1. On the 'Manage Metadata' dashboard, choose 'New Collection Record', and click on 'Create Record'. A draft collection record will be created.
2. Begin filling in metadata fields for your draft collection record. Use the information icons (blue 'i') to get information about what fields mean and how to format their values.
3. Navigate from form to form using the Previous or Next buttons, or by choosing the next form to edit from the pull-down list at 'Save & Jump To:'. When you move from one form to another, your input from the previous form will be saved in your draft record.
4. Explicitly Save form input (within a session or at the end of a session) with the 'Save' button; Finish editing your draft record using the 'Done' button.
NOTE: When you are working with a draft collection record, all 'Save' and 'Done' operations update the draft record in the MMT database, not in the CMR, i.e., DRAFT records are not stored in the CMR. Your draft collection record will not be ingested into the CMR until you click on the 'Publish Draft' button in step 7 below.
5. Follow progress of your draft record on the progress panel:
The icons on the progress panel have the following meanings:
6. View a HTML rendering of your collection record on the 'preview panel':
7. Special NOTES when creating or editing a collection level record:
a. To have the NRT (Near Real Time) badge appear for the collection on the EDSC, set Collection Type = Near Real Time on the Data Information Form.
b. On the Temporal Extent form, Ends at Present should be set to False if there is an end date for the collection.
8. When all Required fields are complete with no validation errors (red icon) showing on the progress panel, you are ready to Publish your record to the CMR.
Click on the 'Publish Draft' button above the Progress Panel on the draft record page:
Use the Find interface in the upper right corner of the MMT banner:
Enter a search term (e.g., a Shortname, a CMR concept id, a science keyword) in the white 'Enter Search Term' box, and click on 'Find'.
A table of CMR records which match the search term will be presented (sorted by Entry Title).
To view an html representation of the metadata for any collection record in the search results table, click on the Short Name of the collection.
Click on 'Full Metadata Record Search'.
Select 'Collections', then select a provider from the 'Select Provider' drop-down list, and then click on the blue 'Submit' button.
A table of all CMR collection records for that provider will be presented (sorted by Entry Title).
To view an html representation of the metadata for any collection record in the search results table, click on the Short Name of the collection.
Recommended set-up for a provider:

b. 'All Granules' permission
c. 'Selected Collections' permissions as needed
