The following procedure shows how to add a new item to a content repository.
Select the repository to which you want to add the new item. (For example, if you were adding content to the Investment Tips repository in the Quincy Funds demo, you would select Content > Investment Tips.)
For repositories that can hold more than one type of item, change the search criteria at the top of the window to show the type of item you want to add. (The types of items in a repository correspond to the different item descriptors in the repository definition file. For more information, refer to the SQL Repositories chapter in the ATG Repository Guide.) You perform this step so that the File > New Item menu option, which you select next, displays the New Item dialog box that is appropriate for the type of item you are adding.
After you change the search criteria, you can click List to display existing items of this type. This part of the step is optional.
Select File > New Item. The New Item dialog box appears, with a form showing the properties you can supply for this item. The properties vary depending on the content repository you are working with and on the specific properties that your company defined for this type of item when it set up the repository.
Fill in the properties as needed. Required properties have an asterisk next to their names. For more information, see Editing Content Property Values.
Click OK when you have finished.
For information on adding a completely new content repository to the system, please refer to the ATG Repository Guide.
