About
The Custom Data Filter module allows users to filter custom metadata through custom metadata fields, in addition to the current available options in the search page. KMS admins can set up to eight custom metadata fields with which the user can filter media in KMS.
This module is useful for accounts that make heavy use of custom metadata. This provides users with more precise search results than using the default "Filter" option via the KMS search engine.
This module is for both Theming and non-Theming users.

Configure
- Log into the Configuration Management console by going to your KMS URL and adding /admin at the end.

- Click Sign In. The Configuration Management console displays.

- Click + Add "metadataFilterAttributes". The metadataFilterAttributes box expands to display additional options.
- Select the metadata profile ("Custom Schema") that was created on the KMC "Custom Data" tab.
- If the metadata profile includes a free text metadata profile attribute, type a customized label which will represent all free text fields that are associated with this metadata profile. If this is left blank, the default prefill is "Free Text".
- Select metadata profile attributes to be displayed on the KMS search screen.
- Click Save. You receive notice that your configuration for Customdatafilter was saved, and the cache was cleared.
The Customdatafilter item will be crossed out because it is disabled by default.
