Define content repository subtypes for the categorized visual items

You can define subtypes of the Categorized Visual Item item type. The defined subtypes will be available in the drop-down list of the Search by Item Type field of the Manage Content on Page functionality of content areas. Subtypes are only displayed if the content area contains categorized visual items assigned to the subtype.

  1. In the Presentation tab of Alfabet Expand, expand the explorer node XML Objects.
  2. Right-click on the XML object UseCaseCategories in the explorer and select Edit XML. The XML object opens in the middle pane.
  3. Enter the following code as child element of the XML element UseCaseCategories:
    • <UseCaseInfo UseCase="ContentRepository">
      • <ScopeInfo Scope="CategorizedVisualItem" Categories="CommaSeparatedListOfContentItemSubTypes" />
    • </UseCaseInfo>

    The XML attribute Categories must be set to either one content item subtype name or a comma separated list of content item subtype names.

    In some databases you will already find a preconfigured use case category for the content repository. You must not add a second one. You can add any subtype name to the already available list or reuse the defined subtype names.

  4. In the toolbar, click Save  Save_Expand.
