+# Global key-value addition
+
+A fast way to set key value pairs to whole dataset to write them into the dataset description.
+
+
+1. Select the dataset
+2. Fold down the `Dataset Details` tab.
+3. In the description add the following line (if is not already there)
+`# global key-value pairs`
+3. Below this add key-values separated by colons:
+
+```
+# global key-value pairs
+lab book number   : 17504
+lab book page     :    17
+
+Domain   :  Bacteria
+Phylum   :  Proteobacteria
+
+# end key-value pairs	
+```
+The description box should look something like this:
+
+![key-value pairs to be applied globally ](./media/kv_global_1_50.png)
+
+
+4. From the `Run Script` icon (gears) select `omero > import_scripts > Populate key-values pairs...`
