Asset properties and metadata
Portfolio stores very detailed information about every file that you catalog. This information includes data that is collected during the cataloging process, such as each file’s type, creation date, size, image dimensions, and other properties. It also includes metadata information included in files or that you may add to a Portfolio asset, such as a description or keywords.
All of this information can be displayed in the Fields panel on the right side of the Portfolio Web or Desktop window.
If the Fields panel is not visible, show it by clicking 
at the top right of the main window. If you want to hide the Fields panel, click 
at the top right of the panel.
All data entry tasks such as populating keywords or metadata fields are done in the Fields panel.
