The IMDI Editor screens are structured in the following ways:
All screens display schemata and fields into which the metadata information is entered (see Section 1.5.2).
Some screens contain sub-screens that are displayed like filing cards. These sub-screens give access to additional schemata and fields.
Some screens have buttons (and corresponding and buttons) that allow you to enter multiple types of information of the same kind, e.g., one sub-screen added for each language spoken by an actor. These additional sub-screens are then displayed as separate sub-nodes in the Browse panel (see also Section 1.3), e.g.:
