# Add Metadata in Console

In this How-to, we’ll go through the process of adding a metadata to one of our several supported systems. The process is the same for all other systems that support metadata: catalog items (link), progressions (link) and currencies(link).

## Prerequisites

* [A LootLocker account](https://lootlocker.com/sign-up)
* [A created game in the web console](https://docs.lootlocker.com/)
* [A leaderboard](https://docs.lootlocker.com/game-systems/leaderboards), [a catalog with a catalog item](https://docs.lootlocker.com/commerce/catalogs), [a progression](https://docs.lootlocker.com/game-systems/progressions) or [a currency](https://docs.lootlocker.com/commerce/currencies)

Navigate to the feature that you want to edit and click on **metadata** to edit metadata for this item.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Leaderboards and Progressions" %}

{% tab title="Currencies and Catalog items" %}

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

Click on the Add Field button a choose one from the list of available types: string, bool, number, json or file.

Input a key and add data into your newly created metadata field. For files, you can click to open a file browser or use drag and drop.

You can add tags to your metadata to make it easy to fetch specific metadata from the game client.

Use the checkbox to decide if the metadata should be readable from the game client or only from the server.

## Conclusion

In this How-to, we’ve created and added metadata to one feature in a system. Now that you have metadata set, the next step is to fetch that metadata: [fetch a single metadata in game](/shared-systems/metadata/how-to/fetch-a-single-metadata-in-game.md), [fetch metadata in game by tags](/shared-systems/metadata/how-to/fetch-metadata-in-game-by-tags.md), [fetch metadata in game from multiple sources](/shared-systems/metadata/how-to/fetch-metadata-in-game-from-multiple-sources.md).
