Registries provide a mechanism for allowing an administrator to customize a user’s view of certain system assets. This customization can be performed for a number of reasons, including:
to provide a simpler user interface for business users
to prevent business users from accessing irrelevant or restricted areas of the system
The ATG Campaign Optimizer UI uses registries when allowing users to select items of the following types:
profile groups (for specifying test participants)
Web pages and page fragments
repository slots
ATG Campaign Optimizer for Commerce customers can also use registries for the following item types:
product templates
category templates
promotions
In each of these cases, business users select items using a tree browser control, which allows them to browse the contents of a registry.
Each tree browser in the ATG Campaign Optimizer UI is configured to use a default registry that provides a view of all the assets of a particular type. For example, the tree browser for Web pages lets users see all of the pages for all of the Web applications that are running on the server. It is not recommended that business users receive access to all the pages of a Web application.
