MPAA Rating List Management
Enables the ability to Manage, ie, Add, Edit, etc the list of MPAA (or the entity based on the country you live in) Rating List
There are 2 methods how to access the MPAA Rating List Management:
– Directly via Metadata Utility’s Main Interface
– Directly via the Switchboard Management Interface
MPAA Rating List Management via Metadata Utility’s Main Interface
From the Main Switchboard, click on ‘Enter/View Information Switchboard’
click on ‘Metadata Utility Switchboard’
Once Metadata Utility’s Main Interface is opened, then search for a Movie (or Show), then double click on the ‘MPAA Rating’ Drop Down Field to Open the MPAA Rating List Management
Metadata Utility comes with a Pre-Build List of the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America).
If you want to add/Edit the MPAA Rating List (either add your own Rating System an/or add the particular Rating system in the country you live), then you can always Double Click on the MPAA Rating Field to Open the MPAA Rating List and Edit, Add, Studios as needed.
Note: If you overwrite, rename or delete a MPAA Rating, then keep in mind that MPAA Rating, if it has already been linked to any of your movies, then that Data Provider will be also lost (or edited) for all movies linked to it (Remember Metadata utility is an RDBMS. Since all Data is linked, if you change one record, you can potentially affect many other records).
We recommend, that you don’t Delete a Data Provider, but better Add more, if needed.
You can add up to 5399 MPAA Rating before Metadata Utility will require additional action : ).
While ‘MPAA Rating’ Key is opened you won’t be able to click on any other Windows that may be opened in the background. Close ‘MPAA Rating’ Key to be able to go back to any other opened windows that may be opened in the background inside ‘Metadata Utility.
Note: Use extreme caution before deleting ANY MPAA Rating from the list as a deletion of a MPAA Rating will also delete that MPAA Rating Information from ALL Records that were linked to that MPAA Rating. This also applies to renaming an existing MPAA Rating. If you rename an existing MPAA Rating in the list, then all records linked to that MPAA Rating will automatically also be updated.
