First define the basic asset type outside WebCenter Sites by coding an XML file called an asset descriptor file, using AssetMaker XML tags. The asset descriptor file defines properties for the new asset type. The term property means both a column in a database table and a field in a WebCenter Sites entry form.

Your next step is to upload the file to WebCenter Sites and create two items using AssetMaker: a database table for the new asset type, and the WebCenter Sites elements which generate the forms that you and others use when working with assets of the new type (creating, editing, copying, and so on).
