Each "`/`" in the asset name represents one hierarchy level. For example, `/AssetName` is the top level, `//AssetName` is the next level, and so on. Default value: `SiteEntry,CSElement,Template,Recommendation`
`xcelerate.treetabmanagerclass`	The class that implements ITreeTabManager to provide tree tab descriptions for WebCenter Sites. Default value: `com.openmarket.xcelerate.treetab.TreeTabManager` Note: The default is provided here for reference only. Do not change the value of this property.
