This can include a variety of information from title, description, location, and a variety of other types of metadata. These are helpful because they allow users to search and filter assets based on this information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zoom comes with a variety of metadata fields out-of-the-box. Some of this information is automatically populated when files are imported into Zoom because they are stored as XMP metadata in the files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to out-of-the-box metadata, Zoom Administrators can also create custom metadata fields to meet their organization&#8217;s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Standard Metadata Fields in Zoom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Zoom includes the number of&nbsp;metadata field groups out-of the-box such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>File Properties<\/th><th>IPTC Core<\/th><th>EXIF Metadata<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Colorant Mode<br>Color Mode<br>Date Created<br>Date Modified<br>Date Metadata<br>Application<br>Document Format<br>Resolution<br>Color Space<br>Print Size<br>Image Dimensions<br>Color Depth<br>Alpha Channel<br>Fuid<br>Comment<br>Repo Revision<br>Author<br>Size<br>File Path<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><\/td><td>Description Writer<br>Creator: Job Title<br>Headline<br>Date Created<br>City<br>State\/Province<br>Country<br>Job Identifier<br>Instructions<br>Credit Line<br>Source<br>Creator<br>Description<br>AI Info<br>Keywords<br>Title<br>Copyright<br>Copyright Status<br>Copyright Terms<br>Rating<br>Intellectual Genre<br>Sublocation<br>Country Code<br>Creator: Contact Info<br>Creator: Address<br>Creator: City<br>Creator: State\/Province<br>Creator: Post Code<br>Creator: Country<br>Creator: Phone<br>Creator: Email<br>Creator: Website<br>Subject<br>Scene<\/td><td>Make<br>Model<br>Exposure Time<br>F Number<br>Date Time Original<br>Date Time Digitized<br>Exposure Mode<br>ISO Speed Ratings<br>Shutter Speed Value<br>Aperture Value<br>Brightness Value<br>Metering Mode<br>Focal Length<br>Exposure Index<br>Custom Rendered<br>White Balance<br>Digital Zoom Ratio<br>Sensing Method<br>File Source<br>Scene Type<br>Focal Length in 35mm<br>Scene Capture Type<br>Gain Control<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Except for IPTC and Digital Rights Management (DRM) groups, rest of the system metadata fields are read-only for the end-user.
