Create a Metadata Form

A new extension table requires its own metadata form to define column headings and Standard CI information for Versioning.

To create the metadata form

  1. Using the Web Screen Painter Visual Editor, click File, Open to access cmdb_metadata_extension.template.
  2. Save the file as cmdb_metadata_extension.htmpl, where extension is the name of the new extension table.
  3. Follow the instructions listed in the file, replacing the ***EXTENSION*** string with the name of the new extension table (defined previously).
  4. Save and publish the form with all changes.

Continue to the next section to populate the metadata form.
