Metadata Form
The metadata form allows for defining manager object (Project, Simulation case, Database) and to add additional information. An example for a new simulation case is shown below. The active input is slightly different between the different objects, but the information is in general the same (see subsections under Project Manager and Database Manager)
The Name and Folder is key information, although not always enabled. Most of the other information is optional.
