What's a free-form content type?

Free-form content types enable you to capture information in a profile that you needn't store in the content library. For example, you can set up a free-form content type to store information about the previous employment information for your workers. Use the Manage Content

A free-form content type contains only a code, name, and a description, and doesn't have any properties until you add it to a profile type. Free-form content types don't include any content items. You can use free-form content types when you don't need a content item because the attribute captured for the content section is free-formed or less-structured. For example, you can set up a free-form content type to store information for accomplishments, career statements, and honors and awards.
