View Object Information

An object consists of a file and its attendant metadata. Some of this metadata, such as date stamps, cannot be edited. Other types of metadata can be edited and can be customized. This section describes viewing object information (immutable metadata), and viewing and editing metadata and tags.

  1. From the main menu, choose Data Management. Click Data Browser from the side menu and select an account from the top drop-down list in the breadcrumb.

  2. Click the bucket’s name to view its objects.

    This tab contains the following sections:

  4. To review or edit the object’s metadata, click the Metadata tab.

    Available keys include:

    • content-type

    • cache-control

    • content-disposition

    • content-encoding

    • website-redirect-location

    • x-amz-meta (a wrapper for Amazon S3-specific metadata)

    Apply your changes and click Save.

  5. To review or edit the object’s custom tags, click the Tags tab.

    These are S3-supported tags. Because other backends may not support the S3 tagging structure, operations that use these tags must be performed using ARTESCA Data Services.
