Direct link to Metadata tab of Easy Edit Suite

I'm trying to create a system for our internal users to view information online. One of the things they will need to do is amend the metadata on the asset. I don't want to do this via a Trigger as there is multiple metadata and if they amend this back to default then it might not be correct. But I would like to create a URL click directly to the Metadata page of the EES if possible, to reduce clicks… at present they click, which loads the EES, then they click on 'Edit' on the top bar, then they click on Metadata…


If there is an easier option - I'd like to do it!



Thanks in advance.

If you are using phase 2 or older you can use:

    
    http://www.example.com/path/to/asset?screen=metadata


If you are using phase 3 (latest):
    
    http://www.example.com/path/to/asset#mode=edit&screen=metadata
3

Well now I know which Phase I'm using… the Phase 2 approach worked. (I'm on V3.28.4)


Thanks for your help - couldn't spot this anywhere in the Manuals… presumably a direct link to content is the same but with content instead of metadata?



Thanks again

That's right, you can link to any screen name. The manuals have probably been updated for phase 3 for which the url hash updates as you navigate automatically so if you wanted to send someone a link to the asset/screen you are on you just copy+paste the current address.
