You can create a new content type in Studio Modeling.
- Sign in to the Modeling Application and open the project you want to work with.
-
Select how to create the content type:
- Click New > Create > Content Type.
- Click the vertical ellipsis button next to the Content Types drop-down menu in the left-hand pane, then select Create.
You can also upload a JSON file with the content type. For more instructions, see Uploading Content Types.
The Create Content Type window is displayed.
- Enter the newly created content type name in the Content Type name field.
- Add an optional description in the Content Type description field.
-
From the drop-down Parent Content Type field, select the
parent content type. The parent content type properties will be inherited by the
new content type. The default selection is None, which
means that no content type properties will be inherited by the newly created
content type.
The default content types that come built-in in the Studio Modeling application are under the Default Content Types section. They are as follows:
System Content Type Description SysFile Creates a content type that behaves like a file within your application. SysFolder Creates a content type that behaves like a folder within your application. Any custom-made content type can be selected under the Custom Content Types section.
Note:If you select None as the Parent Content Type, you need to add a Schema or a Mixin to it later.
-
Click Create Content Type.
The created content type is opened in the application as a new tab.
-
In the Schemas section, use the +
icon to add schemas to your content type. If you used a parent content type that
already had schemas assigned, they are listed as Inherited
schemas in this section.
If you want to remove an already added schema, use the - icon on the right.
Note:For more on schemas see Creating and Configuring Schemas.You cannot remove the inherited schemas.
-
In the Mixins section, use the +
icon to add mixins to your content type. If you used a parent content type that
already had mixins assigned, they are listed as Inherited
mixins in this section.
If you want to remove an already added mixin, use the - icon on the right.
Note:For more on mixins see Creating Mixins.You cannot remove the inherited mixins.
The default mixins available in the system are:
Mixin Description SysFilish Allows the content with this mixin to behave like a file and have its properties. SysFolderish Allows the content with this mixin to behave like a folder and have its properties, including having child documents. SysFullTextIndexable Allows the text within the content with this mixin to be fully indexable. SysVersionable Allows the content with this mixin to be versioned. -
Once editing is done, use the Save Content Type cloud
icon at the top bar to save the created content type.
A blue window reading Content Type saved is displayed at the bottom.
