# Metadata

The metadata menu is nearly identical across all four modules: [FX](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/v4.7.1/helmut4-components/helmutfx), [IO](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/v4.7.1/helmut4-components/helmutio), [CO](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/v4.7.1/helmut4-components/helmutco) and [HK](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/v4.7.1/helmut4-components/helmuthk), with the exception of the option to create a [Metadata Set](#metadata-set). Refer to this page for more information on [Metadata Set](#metadata-set).<br>

For more information navigate to the [HelmutFX metadata](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/v4.7.1/helmut4-components/helmutfx/metadata) tab:

### Metadata Differences for IO, CO & HK vs FX

The difference between the metadata in FX compared to IO, CO & HK is as follows:

1. **Metadata in FX - Project Metadata**
   * The metadata of FX serves as project metadata
   * FX metadata can exclusively be assigned to groups
   * Addition, editing, and removal of FX metadata from projects are only possible when not assigned previously
   * Recall of project metadata is facilitated using the [{project.metadata.?}](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/v4.7.1/helmut4-components/streamdesigner/wildcards/project-related-wildcards-27/project-metadata) wildcard<br>
2. **Metadata in IO, CO & HK - Job Metadata**
   * The metadata of IO, CO & HK serves as job (asset) metadata
   * Job metadata can exclusively be assigned to [Metadata Set](#metadata-set)
   * Job metadata can be added, edited, or removed from assets, provided that they have not been assigned through a [Metadata Set](#metadata-set) previously
   * Recall of job metadata is facilitated using the [{job.metadata.?} ](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/v4.7.1/helmut4-components/streamdesigner/wildcards/job-related-wildcards/job-metadata)wildcard
