Project Editor Manifest Tab

Use the Project editor Manifest tab to manage entity-level dependencies in a cartridge.

Note:

Design Studio populates the entity list based on project-level dependencies defined in the Dependency tab. If you have not defined any project dependencies, the entity list will be empty. See "Project Editor Dependency Tab" for more information.

The cartridge manifest declares two types of entities:

Exported entities are available, or visible, to other cartridges. By default, all entities defined in the cartridge are made public for other cartridges to use. You can remove entities that you do not want to make public.
Referenced entities are entities that are provided by other cartridges. By default, all referenced entities in other cartridges are read-only.

The manifest is used by the deploy and undeploy processes to resolve all required references. If these dependencies are not resolved, the cartridge cannot be deployed or undeployed.

Exported Entities

Field	Use
Entity Type	Displays a list of all possible entity types for the cartridge. Select an entity type to display the entities in the cartridge. Note: Exported entity types are predefined and cannot be removed or opened.
Entity List	Displays the entities for the selected entity type. If the cartridge is sealed, the entity list is read-only. To exclude entities from the list, deselect the Include all from project check box, then click Select, and then from the selection list select only those entities that you want to include in the solution. For example, you may not want to make a particular manual task available to other cartridges and would therefore exclude it. After the list is populated, you can click Remove to remove entities or Open to open the corresponding editor. Note: Excluding an entity in the Manifest tab removes it from the validation process only; packaging is not impacted. If the entity is referenced in the run-time environment, it is available.
Include all from project	By default, the check box is selected. The entity list is automatically populated with every entity defined in the cartridge. To customize the entity list, deselect the check box, and then click Select to select one or more entities from the selection list.
