Add Properties to a Content Type
As an administrator, you can add property definitions to a content type.
To add properties to a type:
For this Field: | Enter This Information: |
Name | The name of the property. |
Required | Indicate whether this property value is required. |
Read-Only | Marks a property as readonly. If a property is marked as readonly, it's value cannot be edited. |
Primary Property | Marks this property as the primary property for this content type. Primary properties can be used within content searches and placeholders to optimize queries. For example, you can retrieve a list of content according to the primary property of it's content type. |
Description | Enter a description of the property that you are creating. |
Data Type | Indicate which data type to use for the property value. |
Choice Type | Indicate whether you want to use a choice list of values for this property. You can choose whether to accept a single value or multiple values. You can also indicate if you want to restrict property values to a list you provide. |
Value Choices | Enter the suggested value(s) that you want to provide to the user. |
Is Explicit? | The Is Explicit property flag allows you to map this property value directly to a value contained in the content management database where your content is stored. If you mark "Is Explicit?", you must indicate the database column within the CM_Node database table to which you want to derive the property value. |
