3.1.1 About DCLs and Metadata Schemas

The Information Fields tab of the Configuration Manager enables you to create custom metadata fields with option lists. Additionally, you can structure an information field to make its associated option list dependent on another information field’s option list. This organization is called a dependent choice list DCL. For example, assume there is an option list for a Country information field and another option list for a State information field. The available choices in the State option list would be dependent on which country was selected from the Country option list. The metadata schema mapping feature is similar to the dependent choice list function in that a hierarchical structure can be created for information field option lists. However, the metadata schema mapping is more versatile. Option list views can be easily adjusted to accommodate localization requirements.
