  1. Select “+ New Field”. Give the field a name containing “Status” (e.g., “Review Status”), then specify this is a single-select (recommended) custom metadata field The presenter filters solely on that substring.

  1. Add these option labels so the UI toggles align:

  2. Ensure each option exposes an id and display_name. The UI displays the name but submits the id back to Frame.io.

  3. Back in the Screening Room application, we can now see our video has the three status options we created earlier.
