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:'. You may work on forms in any order. 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:
9. You will see a green banner indicating that your record has been successfully published to the CMR. You will also receive an email stating that your record has been published, and providing the 'concept id' (CMR identifier) for the published record. You may use that concept id to search for your record on the MMT or on the Earthdata Search Client.
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.
4. Use the sort and filter features on the above table to find specific collections or sets of collections for the provider.
2. Groups of registered users who will have Search and Order access to sets of your collections
(e.g., instrument team group with access to collections from that instrument)
At the top of the Group page, click on 'Create a Group'
3. Fill in the Group Name (recommended to make the name descriptive of the group purpose) and Description.
4. Add members to the group. Group members must have URS login ids in the environment where the group is being created (SIT, UAT, PROD). To add members to the group, position your cursor in the 'Members' box and begin typing the member's URS login id or URS name.
After you have typed 3 characters, the MMT will suggest members for you, and you can choose from the suggested member list.
Enter all group members in the 'Members' field, then click on 'Submit' to save your group.
2. On the Collection Permissions page, click on 'Create a Permission'.
3. Name your collection permission (it is recommended to choose a name descriptive of the type of permission and the type of collections to which the permission applies), and select whether the permission applies to collections, granules, or both.
4. Click on the 'Selected Collections' radio button, and assign collections to your permission.
Choose specific collections to which the permission applies, by highlighting collection names on the left side of the collection 'chooser' and clicking on the '+' to add the collection to the permission. You may use the SHIFT key to highlight multiple collections at one time.
To remove a collection from the permission, highlight the collection name on the right side of the chooser, and click on the '-' to remove it. You may highlight more than one collection on the right and click on the trashcan icon to remove all highlighted collections from the permission.
5. OPTIONAL: Further qualify the collections or granules in the permission by specifying only collections with Access Constraint values in their metadata within a specified range. (use the Access Constraints subform on the Data Identification form to enter these values in a collection record using the MMT). Click on the 'Include Undefined' checkbox if you want to also include collections that have no value for Access Constraint.
6. Assign the groups of users who have Search or Search and Order permissions for these collections. (Search and Search and Order permissions apply when a user uses a client like Earthdata Search Client to search for a collection record and to order granules from that collection.) When you position your cursor in the Search box or in the Search and Order box, you will see a pull-down list of existing groups for your provider. The list will also include two standard 'system' groups: All Guest Users, and All Registered Users. (Registered Users are users who have an Earthdata Login account). If you choose a group for Search, that group will not be available to choose for Search and Order, and vice versa. Click on a group name to select that group for Search or Search and Order. You may select multiple groups for each.
NOTE: One use case here is to allow All Registered Users or All Guest Users to search for and order granules in Version n+1 collections, but not allow those users to search for and order granules in Version n collections. To do this, create a Collection Permission with Selected Collections, choose only your Version n+1 collections, and choose the All Guest Users or All Registered Users group appropriately. Make sure that there is no permission that grants access to Version n collections to All Guest Users / All Registered Users.
7. Click Submit to create your collection permission.
8. You will see a green banner indicating that your collection permission was created successfully, and you will also see a display page for your collection permission.
