Adding Metadata to files

You can use Axon Capture to attach metadata, such as ID, title, and retention category to the files you record. Information that you apply does not alter the original evidence file.

When you upload captured evidence files to your Evidence.com agency, the tag information that you apply to each evidence file also uploads. Other users in your agency who have adequate permissions can view the evidence.

Whether you add metadata to files immediately after capturing them or later by selecting them from the Evidence List screen, the following list explains the metadata tags that you can apply:

• ID — Tap the ID box and type the case ID that you want to apply to the evidence file.

  If you specified an ID prefix, the prefix automatically appears in the ID box when you tap it. You can add text after the prefix. If necessary, you can also edit the prefix text.

  For information about specifying an ID prefix, see the Defining an ID Prefix section.

• Title — Tap the Title box and type the title that you want to apply to the evidence file. The Title box is not available when you bulk tag more than one evidence file
• Category — Tap Category and then, on the Select Category screen, tap the category that you want to apply to the evidence file.

  If you have not signed in to your Evidence.com agency or successfully applied a category, Axon Capture prompts for your Evidence.com agency so that it can get the correct list of categories.

Annotating One Evidence File

From the Evidence Review screen, you can apply ID, title, and retention category metadata to a specify evidence file.

1. In the Axon Capture app, tap  (Evidence List).

   The Evidence List screen shows a list of evidence thumbnails.

2. Scroll to the thumbnail of the file that you want to annotate and then tap it.

   The Evidence Review screen shows the media player in addition to metadata about the video, such as recording date and time and the ID, Title, and Category fields.

3. For each metadata box, make the necessary edits.
4. When you have finished annotating the evidence file, in the upper left, tap Save.

   The Evidence List screen reappears.

Bulk Annotating Evidence Files with ID and Category

If you need to apply an ID or retention category to more than one evidence file, you can use the Bulk Edit screen. This screen enables you to apply one ID and one retention category to all the files that you select.

   The Evidence List screen shows a list of evidence thumbnails.

2. If you want to limit the evidence list to one type of evidence, tap the filter list in the upper-right corner and then tap the evidence type that you want to see.
3. For each evidence file that you want to include in bulk annotation, tap the circle to the left of the evidence thumbnail.
4. After you have selected all the files that you want to annotate, tap Edit.
