Custom Metadata in Index

Once your custom metadata is imported to a Folder, you can create Collections based on your custom metadata and then create Datasets and Projects based on the Collections.

To create a Dataset from an Index Collection:

1. Log in to the Encord platform.
   The landing page for the Encord platform appears.

2. Go to Index > Files.
   The All folders page appears with a list of all folders in Encord.

3. Click in to a folder.
   The landing page for the folder appears and the Explorer button is enabled.

4. Click the Explorer button.
   The Index Explorer page appears.

5. Search, sort, and filter your data until you have the subset of the data you need.

   Filtering by keyframes can narrow your search to frames of interest.

6. Select one or more of the files in the Explorer workspace.

7. Click Select all to select all the images in the subset.

8. Click Add to a Collection.

9. Click New Collection.

10. Specify a meaningful title and description for the Collection.

    The title specified here is applied as a tag/label to every selected image.

11. Click Collections.
    The Collections page appears.

12. Select the checkbox for the Collection to create a Dataset.

13. Click Create Dataset.
    The Create Dataset dialog appears.

14. Specify meaningful content for the following:

• Dataset Title

• Dataset Description

15. Select Split image groups/sequences to extract images from the groups or sequences and add each image separately to the Dataset, if your Collection includes images from a group or sequence.
