There are 4 types of Metadata on the Platform, they are:

- metadata with free text field.

- list of values ​​(numeric, textual, etc.) that become filters in the Item list. 

- We do not allow the duplicity when there are various values;

- It is also possible to add a new metadata in the creation page and when editing an item, making it easier to register;

- Define if it will have a unique or multiple values when registering;

We emphasize that, when creating a new metadata, it is very important to verify if it is according the LGPD
