Inactivating or Reactivating MIME Types

To prevent items from being imported to the repository, inactive their MIME types. Although repository items with inactive MIME types are still accessible, end users must specify which programs to use when opening them.

You can re-activate an inactive MIME type at any time.

  To inactivate or re-activate MIME types:

  1. Select Navigate , then Administer , then Reporting and Analysis, and then MIME Types.

  2. In the MIME type list, click Modify Properties.

  3. Change the Active setting:

    • To inactivate a MIME type, clear Active and click OK. Its traffic-light icon changes to red.

    • To reactivate a MIME type, select Active and click OK. Its traffic-light icon changes to green.
